Awww... shucks... do I HAVE to talk about ME??... hmmm... okay.
I'm a mischievous pixy who's lived 184 seasons. I like live music, laughter, and any opportunity to have a little fun!
Truly... I'm suffering from a major case of "Peter Pan Syndrome". I don't wanna grow up! (and it shows)
Most things about my mundane life you'll learn with ease as you get to know me... I'm pretty open about most things... but the first thing you'll realize is that I'm always looking for the next bit of fun and excitement!
I co-direct a youth leadership organization for teens, and head up the quality management and special operations department for a metal parts fabrication business. I love meeting new people and embarking on new adventures!
I'm a firm believer in Balance...in life, love, work, family, relationships, and faith. I believe that we mere mortals have more control over our lives than we excercise, and that if we truly choose to, we can make the world a better place, even if it's only our immediate surroundings.
I enjoy spending time in book shops, theaters, concerts, rennaisance or fantasy faires, pirate festivals, chili cookoffs, or any other venue where the gathering is aimed at food, fun, and fellowship!
I have a soft spot in my heart for animals (even the two-legged kind), and am often found taking in strays (yes, sometimes even the two-legged kind).
I like role playing games, mystery stories, puzzle books, fairies, frogs, dragons, and good conversation.
You can win my deepest affection with premium chocolate, or a perfectly blended long island iced tea.
Wow... My life has changed so much in the last two years that I barely recognize myself!
My husband and I have actually moved to North Texas, now, and my young adult children (18 and 26) have moved in with us. I'm working on finding new friends in the Denton / Lewisville area, and have been missing my connections in Southern California.
However, there are some fun ren-faire locations in this state... and it looks like Scarborough will now become our "home faire". We will likely travel down to catch TRF at least one weekend each season, and I have located a very close Pirate festival that occurs in October, that has a decidedly "Ren-faire" flavor.
Anywhooo.... While I'm re-defining my world, I'd love to hear from any locals in the North Texas area who are "in-the-know" about the local Ren-Faire scene. Drop me a line! Let's get acquainted!
It's been a while since I've been here... but I'm looking forward to the 2009 Ren season! I still have not actually connected with a local guild. I just can't seem to gather the time together to make the commitment. Well, I guess I'll continue to visit the local fairs as a guest!... and I'm planning to travel this year to the Texas Ren Faire! YAY!!!
some of your best buys you'll find at Thrift Stores.... many old clothing items can be easily converted to "peasant style" garb.
Or... if you prefer, there are many sites that deal in Ren Wear.
to name but a few... a google search for Renaissance clothing or Renaissance Costumes will land you tons of places to browse online. Of course, it's lots of fun to actually go to faire, and shop the vendors there. You'll get to try things on, and decide what you really like, determine what class your character would be best suited to...(peasant, merchant, courtier, nobility, etc.)
Thank you for your willingness to help. I know I can order clothes & other items from Renstore, but perhaps you know of others that have what i need. I'm working two jobs AND trying to build my two Direct Sales businesses, so I'm afraid my time (& finances) are a limited commodity (spelling?) but any advice & assistance given will be greatly appreciated. My personal email is celtic.patrick@yahoo.com & I am on facebook, of course.
Hi! Sorry I am leaving a comment when I really meant to leave a message, I am so not computer literate & have no idea how to work this, so I feel fortunate I can at least add this comment. My kids & friends all thought it was cool as heck to invite you, was I not right that you would fit right in?The party went as smooth as silk and I felt so satisfied. Thank you for joining.My e-mail is patti.bailey@hotmail.com and again I received so many calls today I have no clue which was yours.I have a feeling we will have way more fun in the future together! Take care , Love Patti p.s. my daughter, Lisa is very spiritual and perhaps you & she can hook up on that level, she has recently gone through so much she is "monie" on my friends list. Love Patti p.s.s. We have a little pomaranian named Bear
