The cooler weather has gotten me thinking about our lovely fest. Checking to make sure garb is in order. Any budget for something new etc?
With such a hot summer was hoping it would cool off in time. Not that I want any early winter. I see weather.com showing the days leading up to opening, highs in the low 80's and lows in the 60's.
I don't mind a warm summer but the cooling off has been nice.
Seems like it has been a long time since there has been any cool days at our fest. Would someday like a wool cloak but don't know if the weather would ever be cool enough to wear it. I do appreciate and admire seeing people wearing the warm garb when it is hot out.
Are you kidding?! Of course I'm have the itch for fest but my garb isn't ready. There are beads to be beaded, skirts to be pleated, and friends to be meeted. OK, not really a word but it rhymed. :D
I think I will wait til it is cooler to go too. One year it was almost 100 and that was just way to hot to have any fun. I don't know how the people do it that are dressed so hot.
Try some calamine lotion ::)
Excited since we I'll have at least four small game tables ready for sale.
I'm excited for fest too! I'm not on cast so I can spend time with friends ;D Garb is not quite ready but close. I may even have new garb to wear :D
its my wife's first year as a proper merchant, so yeah, pretty excited. :D
excited a bit and somewhat fearful. My first year of bringing the young'n to work with me for MacGregor . . . Should be interesting.
I've just checked the "projected" temperatures for the month. Obviously they are just "guestimations" but it is saying that opening weekend will be around 77/78. I can handle that very well, thank you!!
Also, be mindful of the humidity. If it's low, I don't mind the soaring temperatures. Pause in the shade, stay hydrated, take breaks from walking around. Easily done no matter what you are wearing. ;D

The Nobles are happy :)
I still have a large number of sewing projects that need attention! And we're almost to a single digit countdown!
I skipped sewing today to do "research" at the Pirates Exhibit at the Science Museum. Ah well......tomorrow is another day ....*giggles*
Busting my tail to get a hat done in the next week, and then there's the cloak I want for later this year, and a couple more chemises. . .how does this happen every year?!?
I just realized that the topic of this thread sounds like a question regarding a communicable disease. ROFL!!! :o
Yes. you never know what you might catch. As Groomporter said a little calamine lotion. Maybe even a visit to the doctor.

I started planning/plotting back in the spring but nothing much got done until suddenly Bristol was upon me! So I totally understand how it happened to you, too!
Less than one week away! Should be beautiful; high (right now) predicted to be 75. Wheeeeee!
Head wench and I are driving up from Tejas. Looking forward to seeing the beautiful faire but can lie...not looking forward to that butt numbing drive!
I've made the trip from MN to TX lots of times...it's not THAT bad as long as you have good music or conversations.
Time to scratch! ;D
Thursday 1000 mile drive.....Friday 300 mile drive.....this morning 4 miles and at faire....
G minus 3 hours...
