    It's been a while....

    Hi, it's been a while, but I thought I'd put something up to at least mention the faires I'm planning on attending this year.  I'm hoping to go to the MLC faire in New Ulm, MN.  It's a small one, but it's free, so I'll see how it goes.  Also doing the Siouxland faire again this year (yay!)  My sister is coming all the way from Idaho to babysit for me for the weekend, since myhusband will also be out of town at a race.  Okay, she's also going to visit other family, too, and for longer than just the weekend, but hey, the reason she picked that time to come is because I needed a babysitter.  I dont' think I want to try bringing a 1-year-old to the faire while I'm trying to sell things to customers.  I'm also thinking I might try the Woden Thor Midieval Festival in Viroqua, WI.  I might try to do that one by myself, too, and just rent a period pavilion instead of bringing my own booth.  But I'm still thinking about it.  I'd been planning on doing the Amana faire in the fall, too, but I guess that one doesn't exist any more. :(

    We're hoping to move to North Carolina in the fall, so maybe I will get to do the Carolina Renaissance Festival in Charlotte in October/November.

    A Wet Weekend

    Wednesday, September 5, 2007, 04:58 PM CST [General]

    Well, we went to the Minnesota Ren Faire on opening day, and it rained the whole time. But, I insisted on going because, darn it all, I had gotten up early just for this, so we were going. I dressed Owen up in his little pirate costume and his stroller in its pirate ship costume, and off we went. It was still fun, but after a while, the rain just "dampened" our day and we headed home. The free pottery lessons were cool, but I forgot to pick up my poor excuse for a pot before we left. Oh well. Here's pictures of me in my new belly dancing costume (world's first ever nursing belly dance bra!) and Owen in his pirate costume and Owen's stroller/pirate ship.

    hey! Thank you for the advice about the pirate coat! i was looking at that costume the other day with/for my beau and we weren't sure if it'd be good or not so we didn't buy anything! but thank you SO much!!
    also, would it be possible for you to direct me to a website or tell me of some faires that are west of you? like ia, mn, sd, nd, ne, ks, and.. montana? ((haha what's the abbreviation for that state?)) because i saw the amana colonies one and the des moines one and the dates don't work with my schedule. i'm planning on attending the siouxland and shakopee. thank you SO much!! happy may day and congrats on the soon-to-be-born baby! :)

    Thanks for joining the Siouxland group! We'd love to see you but I can understand you'll be a little busy this year!

    We had a baby born during the faire a couple years ago and made him a onezie that said "I was born during the Siouxland Renaissance Festival" - lol

    Let me know if you want one!
