'Tis the season for a bit of cleaning

The one problem with the Renaissance Faires ending is that now we have to figure out where to put the leftover merchandise. I tell my "kids", if we have one left of everything on the shelf at the end of the final day, then we had just the right amoung of stuff. If we have two or more, then we obviously have too many. If we run out, then maybe we could have sold one more. And, whatever is left at the end of the final day, they have to pack down for me.

PA Renfaire did pretty good (thanks, Paddy!). But the MD Renfaire....

To give Ben some credit, it was his first time managing something this large and this busy on his own. Given that, he did a great job. Its just that we have many, many shelves full of candles, honeysticks, and candy come back.

Well, at least we won't have to make many candles for awhile! And, I hope to see the carpet soon. At least, I THINK we have a carpet.....

The Renfaire are Almost Over!

I almost hate to say it, but.....YEA, THE RENFAIRES ARE ALMOST OVER!

Please don't get the wrong idea. We loved seeing everyone there. But we have been working 18 hour days, 7 days a week, for several months now. We are due a brief spite before the holiday rush is upon us.

Last weekend was the final weekend at the MD Renfaire, and this weekend is the final weekend at the PA Renfaire. When I last checked www.weather.com, they are calling for a bit of rain on Saturday, but gorgeous weather on Sunday. Well, as long as you dress for 65 degree weather. Still, I think it hit 45 degrees a year or two ago, so 65 should be a nice balmy day!

If you haven't done so already, sign up for our email list - we will be sending out new newsletters soon, and the holiday sales are coming up. Should be exciting!
