Does the Scott Boswell CD count? I actually bought it at the Irish Fest (but would have gotten it at Scarby had I not run into him at NTIF)
* I reserve the right to add items as my feeble mind remembers them.
In addition to the items mentioned by cowgrrl above, I also bought:
- a hidden belt watch from the Scot Shoppe
- green dragon pet for DS
I also traded a completed byzantine chain at the chain maille shoppe for a bag 'o steel rings and a key chain
Not nearly as much as I wanted to! I did buy a bottle of Devonshire Heather fragrance oil, a scent to which I've quickly become addicted. I tried on a Pendragon bodice, and will order one from their website in the near future now that I know how their sizes run. Must finish putting hubby through school, so that limited buying things. BUT- after he graduates, my faire shopping will truly get interesting!
Lady Morna
Due to some health issues with the wee wife we only made 3 days this year.
1-walking stick and a necklace for the wee wife. I think that pretty much covers it.
An unfinished Staff
Unfinished wand
Ordered garb to be ready for TRF from Highland Anvil.
Wizard insence burner.
Fan
Scents from Majika- Lord Ambrosius- made for me! Black Dragon, Tiger.
One lonely litle old Moresca belt pouch - I think I need a pity party.
Wait! a frozen Bellini & lots of water! ( yeah, that makes me feel better)

Guennie, you forgot that good looking guy you picked up. I had no idea they were selling men, but you found one. Nice purchase.
I was barely able to afford admission this year (due to the fact that I'm in the middle of a move)...but I still managed to buy a good amount of alcohol.
Faire can be a bummer when you can't afford all the awesome wares... I'll be sure to have plenty saved up for TRF though.
I got Jacob his Hat he wanted with my early birthday money!
Thank you everyone who helped with that.
I got a pretty wood goblet and custom leather strap ... and some votive candles ... and some music ... but I never DID figure out what added 12ish pounds to my checked bag! (Maybe the mud from that weekend!?)
I didn't buy a lot this year... I did make my usual trip to Legendary Candles, I got a nice majick wand for my little brother, and a necklace with a cut piece of antler w/ my Chinese zodiac sign (Tiger) on it.
The store that had the home distilling casks had some pretty nifty nautical pieces. I hope they're back next year...I'd set aside funds for that bit of shopping.
Wait MOLDEN!!! YOU HAVE A YOUNGER BROTHER??????? Um, can I get his number??
:-*
A bottle of water that I constantly refilled
Wine cork figurines such as unicorns
Other figurines such as a dragon with specs and a big book with a faery on the book. But as the proprieter told me, there was a serious question of whether he was reading to the faery or getting ready to slam the book.....I go for the former
Way to much to list.....but I got 2 new hats that I love!!!
Some of the other things:
Mug
Hot Sauce (Sissy Sauce for me)
Twirly Chime Thing
Candles
And a bunch of other things :)
i bought a new shirt, sleeveless, because of the heat, beer, a glass charm for my cousin, and this wasn't bought but i got my scabard fixed for my claymore....all it cost was a guiness. Thanx REV!!!
Patiently waiting for 2009 tickets to go on sale. :o

Usually they have their 'sale' the week after Thanksgiving. So I'll be looking for that. ;)
