Huzzah to you all!
As most of you know, my dear husband, Vexed Viscount will not be here for the run of the faire this season. His work has taken him far (waaay far) across the seas. I write to him and tell him about the days at fest but it's just not quite the same... until now...
Muffin had a wonderful idea to help VV feel like he didn't miss out on the season. A box of faire mementos. A time capsule, if you will, of things one might do, see, find, etc during a day at the faire that we can send to him so that he might experience it for himself.
The rules (well, actually, they're more like guidelines ;)):
Items collected should be free, found, or favoured (as in, given as a gift).
Items should come with a description, if necessary, as to their purpose.
i.e. A small baggy of dirt would be accompanied by the following note; to rub onto your clothes, and sniff in to achieve faire boogers.
Items should be light weight, small-ish, and safe to be sent by US post. (no alcohol-not even empty bottles. lol)
Should you find "the perfect item" but it does not meet the size, weight, decency requirements of the US Post Office, take a picture and forward that to me or Bacardi and we'll put it onto the photo disk to be included with the box.
Items must be received by closing cannon on Sept 19th so I can get them mailed off in time for him to "attend" closing weekend.
Thank you to all who help giving VV a day at the faire!
I already know what I'm going to put in! ;D
What a great idea! I'll be on the lookout for things to contribute!
YAY!!! This will be so much fun!! :-*
Oh the opportunities with this!!
I don't think mailing MG's best "assets" meets the USPS decently standards though.
I'll have to find something else.
I already started working on my part. ;D
What a cool idea. :D
I think I've got an idea.. I'll drop it by the shoppe on Saturday or Sunday next weekend. :)
are pins acceptable objects? (small little buttons, like the little circle ones you'd get at hot topic type)
Yes, Lily. Pins are a perfect size! Aha... but a pin of what...? :P ;D
OH! A REQUEST. Or would that be "another" request?
Anyway, please be sure to include a note or something with your name so VV will know who helped produce his marvelous faire experience.
Oh I know the perfect thing. I was going to use it on my garb, but this is the perfect occasion for this and VV is much more important for this!!! Huzzah!!!!
No boozamahol!?..
I don't know if I can think out side of that box....er, I mean bottle!...
I'm keeping my eyes open for that special "something". ;)

ROFLMAO...
I'll start saving half-eaten soap bits!
Remember to watch for your "ground score" and other items for VV's "day at the faire"!
Thanks everyone!

are bottle caps acceptable?
Yes, bottle caps are acceptable. Just be sure to lick all the booze off, first. ;) ;D
Just a reminder we have this weekend and next weekend to get our stuff to MG to ship to VV. ;D
MG we have a nice little collection going for you but I am a little behind on my picture taking. :o
Well, if he's still willing, Rune is going to do some video. No, not that kind of video. ::)
So, if Rune comes up to you with the camera, pretend you are talking directly to VV and tell him what you've found for him and what he's supposed to do with it. ;D
I've got my contribution just about ready to go.. have to grab a couple things this evening, but I'll run it over to you tomorrow, MG. :)
gosh somebody remind me to bring my contribution!!
Hey Goody...! ;D
What an incredibly thoughtful and poignant idea, and how much fun this sounds to assemble!!! I soooo hope that when the package has been sent you'll post the list of items here, so we can all enjoy your Faire through the experience of VV... please?
MG- The day I was out there you were off so I gave my contribution to Nyte, Dreg and Jack. I hope it meets the criteria.
*clapping hands*
What fun stuff is coming in! I haven't even seen all of it yet and it's shaping up to be a very busy day at fest for VV!
Here's a contribution by DB and Nyte...

OK why can't I help but laugh with Nyte?
That was so cute.
Especially that moment of cluelessness!
*sigh*
I miss you guys!
Oh yeah....thanks for that! Had I known that was video you were shooting and not just a snapshot, I might have had something clever to say.... :P
*snerk* It was hilarious!
Big push for pictures and video this coming weekend!
I had stuff for you Sunday but then I realized you weren't there. Crap! Can we give you stuff next weekend, or is that too late?
Since I haven't gotten my own poop in a group to send to Mike, keep those items and stories coming in! I'll just get a bigger box. ;D Mike will love all of it! Huzzah!
*edit*
Nyte, bring whatever you have this weekend so I can start putting it all together. Thanks!
Apparently I'm not the only one who can't seem to get it together ::) ;) and some people still have items for Mike's box-Huzzah!
I haven't gotten it sorted out for shipping so let's see if we can keep VV really busy during his "day at fest".
Keep those items coming in. Any pictures to include, renmail to me or Bacardi. Pictures can be of the "adult variety" :o, as in bodice shots, etc. Items have to pass the US postal service standards and exclusions.
Thanks again to everyone who has helped with this project! ;D
It's been fun! I have some pictures I need to get off my phone to send to you. :D
I have my item at my house i just need to get it to you, renmail me you address or let me know when your at work and i will drop it off there and have some lunch.
Should have everything to you tomorrow!! YAY!! :-*
