Yup I'm ready to get counting down the days!! WOOOOHOOOO!!!!
111 DAYS until the Open of the 2011 MIRF sSeason!!!
HUZZAH!
109 now.
101 days left, can't wait, but I have Mayfair and Silverleaf to tide me over. But, still I have to clean up all my equipment and dig it out of my closets. And decide what garb to attend in.
HUZZAH!
95 now....as of this posting (5/16/11)
92 days!!!!
I am really looking forward to this year. I think my husband should be home for most of it. Finally!! Pretty sure he'll miss opening weekend and maybe the second weekend as well. Which is a bummer because he usually compeates in the highland games that weekend. So I know he'll be sad to miss that.
Also as a shameless plug....I help put on a highland festival in Midland in June. I put info about it under the Celtic Corner thread. Check it out....always lots of rennies running amuck!!! :)
80 DAYS!!!!!
WOW am I a slacker.
42 days until MIRF!!!!
WEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! ;D

We plan being there.
i me too ;D would much rather be there then in the mundane any day... ;D
21 days!! Woo hoooooo!
So....we only have like 12 more days until MIRF!!! Yeah!!!! We are heading down to Holly the thursday before, so that makes everything seem so much closer.
I've been busy sewing but I'm still not really sure what I want to wear opening weekend. I guess the weather will have a little to do with it. Can't believe we are close enough to opening cannon to start thinking about the weather for that weekend. weeeeee!!!!
;D
I'm praying for breezes and cool temps so that I don't overheat.
Have a question for anyone that may be in the know.. is The Frock Shoppe going to be there? I looked at the list of vendors and they are not listed :(. I hope they are.
I'm looking forward to opening day, I'm bringing some newbies along for the ride. Here's to getting more folks addicted!
Yeah for newbies!!! hehehheeee
Well I think I finally have decided on what I'm wearing opening weekend. I don't know why it's always so hard to decide. And knowing me I'll change my mind again before then, but at least I have an idea. Does anyone else have this problem, or am I just that crazy???
Can't make it opening weekend. Selfridge is having their Air Show, so i'll definitely be going to that.
But, can't wait till weekend after that and the Labor Day weekend.

I always dress for the weather--cotton and linen garb if it's going to be hot, tweed and wool if it's going to be cool. I went to Silver Leaf last weekend in my recently completed green linen garb. It was SO hot, but I was fairly cool--even in me underskirt and bloomers!! Cute little faire btw. They're jousters are actual competitive ones--SO much better than Holly's! Couple of good bands too...I'd go again. Especially if I needed accessories as theirs are a little cheaper than Holly's too. ANY whoo...I do prattle on. :)

I don't think you're crazy, but I rarely have that problem because I spend the major part of the year preparing something elaborate and complex for the festival. I got started down that path when I made my "dragon scale armor" and somehow got hooked on 4-month-long projects. Not that I'm complaining, mind you, I'm just learning a bit more about how obsessive-compulsive I can be is all.
Only 7 and a half hours 'til opening!
Sad that I am not there right now, but I will make it tomorrow! Have fun everyone!
Opening day was a blast! Good crowd, lots of fun up until the rain started in, that is. Thanks everyone for making my newbie friends welcome, they were highly impressed with the faire.
Well, I made it this past Saturday and will be there tomorrow. Have to see many more shows only got to a few the first day.
I am planning on being there this Sunday the 25th only. Can't get off early Friday night to drive there for sat and sun. Wish I could. But, I guess one day is better than none like last year. Who else will be there this Sunday so that I may meet up and say hello once again to old friends and make new ones.

Hopefully we will see you there. Morgan and I will be meeting with friends of ours there (you met Angie earlier in the season). They are celebrating their first anniversary on Sunday and we are celebrating our second.
Just finished posting my pictures from this past Sunday at the Michigan Renaissance Faire. What a fantastic time seeing old friends and meeting new ones. I love this faire. To see the pictures, click on the link below. Enjoy..
