I had an absolutely fabulous day at the Faire and I needed that very badly. I got to pursue my stealth career as a Highwayman. A lot of the vendors sometimes “forget” to bring their raffle items to the front table which is pretty stupid because it’s great advertising if you give something cool not your cheesieist item. So I went around the meadow area with a big smile and a bag to collect all the items. Nothing like standing there being friendly to make people fork over the goods. I had a blast! Some people were so excited to not have to take a walk to the front in the middle of setting up. And the ones who got caught got a real sheepish look on their face. And one rude man flat out refused and said he’d do it “later”. I hope Joanne got him for that. He had really negative energy.
By then my back was done in so I went and hung out with Denise and Mary. They are wonderful Reiki Masters and if you ever come to our Faire check them out. I also took over 130 photos of the day and got some really good pictures. The energy of the Faire was nice and light this time. People seemed a lot more relaxed than it is sometimes. The only bad part is that is was the same time as Pride which probably cut our numbers a bit.
The weather was great, not too hot or too cold. I had a couple of funny encounters. One gentleman was running around Faire in a shirt that said in Gaelic “speak Gaelic”. So I asked him how he was in Gaelic. I have a pretty good clear Isle of Skye accent. I got a blank stare from him. Then a kid was running around in a “No one expects the Spanish Inquisition” shirt. So I said, ” Oh No, the not the comfy chair”. Nother blank look. Oh well must have thought it was a cool shirt but not be a Python. 0 for 2 on the day to smiling comments to strangers on their apparel. It’s like saying “blessed be” to someone who is wearing a pentagram as a fashion statement.
I had a great time. I put one of my BunniHoTep shirts on the raffle table and it disappeared pretty quickly and someone bought my display one I was hoping to wear. So that was good. At the Yule Faire I’ll bring some more.
I did get sunburned late in the day on my shoulders and thankfully no where else. It didn’t appear ’til after I got home so I didn’t get burned ’til late in the day.
Hopefully, my back won’t be such a hinderance at Yule Faire. I felt like a jumping bean, can’t sit for long and can’t stand for long so I was up and down all the time.
It started with a healing circle as part of our traditional opening circle which since they included my mom made me very glad I was wearing dark glasses. The only bad part is that then everyone knows and has to hug me which can put me in sensory overload very quickly.
Oh and I hardly ever win the raffle and I won twice but my name was called more than twice. Ali said I should have bought a lotto ticket on the way home. I got a really cool clock and an herb garden.
Anyway, Huzzah!
