Before the season started, someone made a post about what you wanted to get this season. So let's here what everyone's swag is!
I have a new Felix gown and another Felix bodice (that man is evil, but damn do I look good in shiny clothes!)
New bodice from Ethereal Threads.
Made a new bodice myself, my first back lacing only bodice.
Skirt chasers from New Pterodactyl
New hair thingy that actually keeps all of my hair up while I'm at my "real" job (it's hard calling a theatre job a real job).
Lots of new necklaces made by one of the cast members.
that's my Cousin Jamie!!!!!!
I got um...nuffin' this year but lovin'
I got a bodhran (hand drum actually) and two tippers! One is custom made by BJ and the other one he modified for me.

Nice!! I want to get a bodhran one of these days...
I got a new leather pouch to hold my camera, my tricorn (yay!) and Christmas presents for nearly everyone on my list. :)
Great topic. I was going to post the same question myself. Always nice to see what goodies everyone got this year. Will post my goods later.
Pictures would be greatly appreciated!
Oh I did get a new necklace via my cousin!
I wish I had a camera to show off all of the necklaces! They are wonderful. A few of them almost seem like they were made for me.
I got some more soap...lots and lots more soap...and I got a little bell with a shamrock on it, to replace the one i lost at Twig this year. It's funny, because it was the very last one they had left with a shamrock...
The best thing I got this year though was a necklace to go with my garb that I got for my birthday.
I got a man in a kilt! Yummy!
I got a new noble skirt/bodice/sleeves. Can't wait to sort out the underpinnings to complete the outfit.
VV got a flask/holder from Nikita's place. It arrived in the mail yesterday. ::) Too late for fest but safely tucked away for next year.
I'm a pretty happy camper. First weekend I got my Dragon Egg, which occasionally twitches but hasn't hatched yet ( Thank you DB ! ) and the last day I scrounged enough so I could make it to my Feast Of Fantasy. Haven't missed going at least once a year since it started.
Ferret
Got my Leather Kilt and a new tasting cup for Scotch, ;D
I got stripey pirate pants from Sofi's, a wooden mug,a waist sash...
I got some new jinglies (YAY!!), a couple of pewter pins, and a new bodice cooler (with two different tops)...
I really meant to do more shopping this year for myself... *pout* Oh well I can shop in TX I suppose!!! ;)
Oh and my bodice cooler lady gave me a necklace with a bat on it for Festival Friday since we were the "pub of the undead".. ;D hee hee!!
I got the flask I was so desperately needing (a 10 ouncer!), a pocket sundial, and a wolf's head pin for my new hat.
I bought a new pair of sandals from Willing Soles, new Mug O'the Woods, barked topped cork to go with it from Anam Cara and a new R/F pin to replace the one I lost opening weekend.
George also bought me my engagement ring...the most important thing I received this year.
I think this is the most I have ever purchased in a fest season. I am usually super cheap and don't spend money there, just purchase cloth and make stuff.
I got a pair of boots from Son of Sandlar and a pouch from Renaissance Leather.
Gin got a Felix Needleworthy bodice and a bodice cooler.
We also got another set of wind chimes for our deck, and a couple pieces of artwork for our Renaissance room.
Usually what I get at Faire is ideas... for garb, jewelry, accessories, etc. I'm on a pretty tight budget, so I make most of my goodies, but I love to see what other folks buy or make, then come up with my own version, incorporate bits into my own creations or spin off into an entirely new direction. Faire really gets my creativity flowing!
All I bought was a jingle bracelet. I ate more than usual. I usually wait til my Mom comes to fest and we eat our way thru but I tried a bunch of things I don't normally eat there. Hardly looked in shops this year as I spent most of my time in Fest Friends!
I got the boot dagger from Starfire I've been wanting. Some artwork, soap, a huge mug/tankard, and a nice silver pendant from that place that makes them with the press thingy. Felix next year.
I picked up a new belt, pouch, flask and earrings. Kurt found a hat he liked, and we found a greenman piece for the fence out by the hot tub. This was the first year we attended in garb and we were out there nearly every weekend. I also saw quite a few things I would like to try and make over the winter.
Oh and cds, we picked up a few cds.
I have a new belt pouch, my shiny new Vilification Tennis mug, and a beautiful new necklace that Toni gave me. And while I don't have it yet, Kevin Caufield is custom-making me an indoor fountain that he PROMISES to have by art crawl. Huge splurge, but they are so pretty. :)
I *finally* got my Felix.
It only took me... you know, I've lost count of the years I was drooling at Felix's.
Two sarongs... love love love them!
three actually, if you count the one PC bought me "for Xmas".
and a shiny new season pass for 2009.
Can't wait for next year!
Jenn got a FOP, new sandals, and a whole outfit from Felix.
the kids got necklaces and dragon eggs.
I got a pewter flask filler (thx Toar), two round glass flasks, a belt, two cheapo necklaces. And of course endless fun as a FOP
Joe got a plaid brooch and I came home with a new gold filled silver ring to wear instead of my real wedding ring at fest.
I also got enough extra yummy treats to have to wear my "fat pants" to work today, but somehow, it was worth it.
I bought a new felix bodice to replace the one that was too big. (Yay!) I also got new bloomers from felix too. Man, he makes a killing off our group!
I also purchased my shiny dragonfly necklace, and my dragon's blood diffuser necklace.
I also "picked up" a pair of skirt hikes from a certain sweet uncle. I am "borrowing" them. Ya, that's it.
The Dregs CD, D&D's CD and a pretty fairy ring.
Oh, and some pottery things for my Ren themed bathroom.
That is all I remember. I spent way more than I planned.
Oh and MG, LOVE your new outfit. It is gorgeous.
I got a musician...
No seriously that is all I got for myself besides food, alcohol, cigarettes and coffee...the four food groups...5 if you count the musician.
I got a dagger from Starfire, a black silk scarf, a glass Pegasus for a special someone, a not-leaking mug from Mug o' The Woods, and almost a dozen cigars from people who attended the Smoker but didn't want theirs :D
Not bad for one weekend!
I bought all the stuff the ended up making my first garb, including a new kilt pin and a gnarled up walking cane.
I met a few of the R/F crowd on Fest Friday. Took in my First ever, Final Day Vilification Tennis. Signed up for the smoker, got a call that my little one wasn't feeling well, had to leave. Missed final gate...again. Thanks for the pics DB....next year maybe, if I can make it back. Moving to Seattle at the end of the month.
Til we all meet again.
New grommets in my leather bodice (Thank You, Slugger!) It is actually wearable now.
Hugs from so many old friends just met, new friends just met, and old friends met again.
Marvelous backrubs outside the privies *chuckling* though I'm not sure, in some cases, who enjoyed it more.
Oh yeah- forgot this part. The kids got George and I a dragon egg with 2 stands for an anniversary present. They even haggled for it...they are good at that.
Became part of a really cool close knit group.
Got a new sash/head scarf
got a new shirt
got a new leather jerkin
was gifted a new leather ring belt (it rocks!!)
got to be in one of the newspaper ads for Ale weekend!! Thanks to Majikboxman!
I got a huge credit card bill...WHohoo!

Ocarina (still working on "Like a virgin")
belt
"Ol' Suzanna" pouch
Pewter dragon flask filler
Mug 'O the Woods mug (Thx Sitara)

We took it easy with finances this year, but I picked up a few new things. Two of which you can see in my new forum picture taken by Sleepy A.K.A. Lord Fondlebottom. Both of which are on my hands. Plus I picked up a couple pins. One of a tall ship which I saw and fell in love with. Reminded me of back home and had to have it. Even though it was a little pricey. The other I just loved the saying on it.
Rape the fields
and pillage the women.........no wait.

Where'd you find the ship pin?
Here is a pic of a pouch and key/flask carrier I got at the Renaissance Leather shop. I was trying to find a heavy duty key holder for the longest time. They sell these to use with flasks but is perfect for a key ring. I would really love one of their flasks also but they are expensive. Beautiful though.
Would love to see pics of all the great goods you guys got.
It is easy to post them, just upload to www.photobucket.com or some other free picture hosting sight.

Forgot to mention the things I bought for family members:
Leather Pirate Jacks from Elandah for my brother and sister-in-law (Christmas presents)
Leather Jill from Elandah for my niece (she came with me second to last weekend and didn't bring a drinking vessel)
Aluminum straw from Elandah (made by Missy Iverson) with pretty beads for same niece
Mug strap for niece to carry jill.
New 6" dagger from SabreSmith for my nephew
Sheath from Renaissance Leather for dagger for my nephew (because if you spend money on one child, you have to spend money on the other)
and a silk scarf for my friend, Deb, who lets me stay at the hotel with her and doesn't let me pay her for it.
Also, picked up some BLT mugs for friends' birthdays. They happened to be there when I was in a generous mood and had the cash on me.

It was in the shop next door to Excalibur leather. As your looking at it. it's the shop right on the right hand side.
That's the same place I bought my wolf pin!

Thanks! :)
That would be Niegle Forge I think... if that helps
I totally forget about the new Dregs cd!
And the best things was having no drama this season! There was potential drama but it thankfully died instead of coming to life.
Lucky! I was given boatloads of drama.
I got a major cold.
I also got a new kitty. We went to recovery party the week after faire and there was an adorable, lovable kitty that several of us snuggled with. When George and I went to bed it was raining out and he reappeared and jumped in the van. We snuggled with him all night and were unable to find his owners in the morning. Jac didn't even know who he was, so we brought him home. He has been named RC (Ren Cat) McGroundscore.
