After shopping of course....

Do you EVER... tell Scotsman about shopping? No wonder he's always at the pub....

mmmmmm.....all this talk of new garb....I just might have to do some shopping!!! Shhhhh....don't tell Scotsman!
DuCouer~ I can not wait to see your new doublet, when you explained it at VARF it sounds stunning. And with such a interesting history! 

Ahhh....A Scotsman at a Pub is a very natural event...very suiting from a man of his ancestry don't you think? And I being an Irish lass find men that gather at a pub very cleaver.....for they know the ladies will gather soon to join them!

Hello to all.

This will be my first visit to the shire.  Lady Cindy and I would like to know of the Hotels in the area. 
thanks

[Morwyn]

Well, we'll see how far everyone gets with the shopping, especially if opening weekend is like last year when nobody strayed far from the pub. Ah, the power of mead and ale! 

Oh Athena...we got really good last year hopping from a shop, back to the pub, to a shop, back to a pub....

[Morwyn]

My new Doublet is ready for its debut...I am picking it up on Monday...

See I told Scarlet and Morwyn that opening weekend at GLMF is like Fashion week in New York...lol

...and yes DuCoeur...you were right...just like fashion week...salads and water for the next few days 

[Lady Guinness]

Athena~ yes, I recall knowing the pubs very well last year and I am excited about visiting the rest of the shire...I am told it is beautiful!   And Morwyn, your plan is.....brilliant!!!!!

[Athena]

Lady G, you did see quite a bit of our lovely faire. Don't you remember? We passed so much beauty while pub hopping! LOL 

Morwyn, I don't remember you shopping, but there are many things from that weekend that are a bit fuzzy! 


Note to self: Must pace alcohol consumption this year.

[DuCoeur]

Shopping at great lakes is amazing...

Tights, and a doublet, and scents to tantalize the um senses...I spend almost (thats almost) as much shopping as I do at the pub...
Well ok not really...but I have done my share of Shopping.  I hope Chantilly is back...can't wait to see her and Dave...And I'm back...

Ok I can barely eat I am so excited...

SHeez! My idea of shopping is ... which do I want for the next round, Smithwicks OR .... Smithwicks .... Hmmmm, all these decisions .... now that I think about it I did do a bunch of shopping last year ... and boy was it fun!

[Lady Guinness]

If you look at it that way Scotsman....we always shop!

Jenny and I have spent the last couple of days out at GLMF, getting the Sherwood stage ready for our "Porter & Stout" performances. I just wanted to tell you that there are sssooo many new things at the festival this year. It's going to be very cool!

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone on Saturday morning.

All my best wishes.

Wait....they're not putting a Pirate singing group at the Drift Inn?? Or the Main Pub Stage?

Well...at least you guys will be there...as will we...unless we're all hallucinating...but I think not THAT early in the morning...
