A day at fest...

Huzzah to you all!

As most of you know, my dear husband, Vexed Viscount will not be here for the run of the faire this season.  His work has taken him far (waaay far) across the seas.   I write to him and tell him about the days at fest but it's just not quite the same... until now...

Muffin had a wonderful idea to help VV feel like he didn't miss out on the season.   A box of faire mementos.  A time capsule, if you will, of things one might do, see, find, etc during a day at the faire that we can send to him so that he might experience it for himself.

The rules (well, actually, they're more like guidelines  ;)): 
Items collected should be free, found, or favoured (as in, given as a gift).
Items should come with a description, if necessary, as to their purpose.
    i.e.  A small baggy of dirt would be accompanied by the following note; to rub onto your clothes, and sniff in to achieve faire boogers.
Items should be light weight, small-ish, and safe to be sent by US post.  (no alcohol-not even empty bottles.   lol)
Should you find "the perfect item" but it does not meet the size, weight, decency requirements of the US Post Office, take a picture and forward that to me or Bacardi and we'll put it onto the photo disk to be included with the box.
Items must be received by closing cannon on Sept 19th so I can get them mailed off in time for him to "attend" closing weekend.


Thank you to all who help giving VV a day at the faire!
Nothing clever to say here.  Not enough caffine yet.

What a great idea! I'll be on the lookout for things to contribute!
Masquerading as a normal person day after day is exhausting.

YAY!!! This will be so much fun!!  :-*

It's always Beer:30 here....

Oh the opportunities with this!!
I don't think mailing MG's best "assets" meets the USPS decently standards though.
I'll have to find something else.

Capt. Bacardi

I already started working on my part.  ;D
BLOODY HELL!!!!

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

I think I've got an idea.. I'll drop it by the shoppe on Saturday or Sunday next weekend. :)

are pins acceptable objects? (small little buttons, like the little circle ones you'd get at hot topic type)

Yes, Lily.  Pins are a perfect size!  Aha... but a pin of what...?  :P ;D


OH!  A REQUEST.  Or would that be "another" request?

Anyway, please be sure to include a note or something with your name so VV will know who helped produce his marvelous faire experience.

Oh I know the perfect thing. I was going to use it on my garb, but this is the perfect occasion for this and VV is much more important for this!!! Huzzah!!!!

I don't know if I can think out side of that box....er, I mean bottle!...
