...she really made my day! Her costume and general persona were just delightful. Surely she is a regular--has anyone else run into her or maybe even know her? I'm just curious, because I thought she was so much fun. :)
(This was last year, August 2010.)

That is non other than the greatest lady ettie! Love her, my friend carol black, co-chief of the greatest foundation ever RESCU!
Yes, she is definitely a regular, on cast. I believe she has a small area called Lady Ettie's "Me Place" where she has tea time twice a day, as well as generally walking around bringing smiles to all. I remember seeing her back between two shops, in a small shaded area with lots of colorful bits of things dangling all about, I think its on High Street, between the ATM and the Midsummer Stage.
Sad that I know this off the top of my head when there is STILL 249 more days until we can go again.
That is a great persona, she makes me smile just looking at her. ;D
Catch one of her tea time shows we had a ball when we did.

I couldn't agree more!
...and this has got to be the "me place" you are talking about, Soulstice. I was so happy when I stumbled upon it, though I didn't know exactly what it was for!

she is beautiful. ;)
We have the pleasure of having Lady Ettie at FLARF also.
Unfortunately she doesnt have her own place down here,
although from seeing that picture I really wish she did.
Amazing what a 2-second google search can reveal! :D

I have had tea with her many times there. It is filled with a lot of fun and participation. She is one of the Bristol Icons. But I do echo others in that you MUST go to one of her tea gatherings at her place.

That sounds absolutely fantastic. Sadly, I have moved since then. Arizona will be my home faire now, but I hear it's a good one!

That's the place alright!
I just love Lady Ettie! We miss her in Ohio. :(
I remember at Bristol that the Queen would actually bow to her because she respected her so much, as a persona and in real life.
I'm having serious withdrawl pangs today. That picture looks so inviting and recalls so many good times at Bristol in general. Its just happy.

I quite agree. I went to an amazing Dia de los Muertos festival this weekend, and I thought, "I just want my life to be one big amazing festival after the next." Of course, it would be even better if roughly half of those were Ren Faires. ;)
I had the pleasure of working with "Lady Ette" for 5 years or so in Tenn. There are no words that I could come up with to describe the experience. I run into her every so often at various faires and it's just amazing the memories that flood my mind.
