Weekend 3 of Faire

My family came to visit good ol' Deptford this weekend.  The stopped by on their way in and then on their way out at the end of the day.  CreepyMom gave me a magnifying glass on a  leather thong...so I could inspect the customers'....equipment.  They had some conversation...I gave them my RUB gift to deliver. :-)  And then, they asked me my character name.  Same as last two years, it's Edith...*gasp* you would do that to your GRANDMOTHER?!!!  Why, yes, yes I would - I think SHE'D think it's funny!  Besides that, there is some implication that this is what I was doing in the military camp anyway...I just get paid more at the Bell. :-)

I switched wigs, to a blonde; yup, CreepyGirl as a blonde!  I would look AWFUL as a blonde in real life, but with the white face makeup it is much more striking...and I have it pulled back better than the Auburn wig. So look for me...blonde...having more fun!

I was able to get Bro his Christmas gift (finally).  I wanted to make him a leather-wrapped tankard; but the tankards I ordered never arrived; I eventually got a refund -- but I wanted the tankards, thank you so much. Ugh.  Anyway, he got a cool, hand hammard, pewter mug with a dragon handle; sure it won't hold as much as a full sized tankard; but it'll hold 8 oz at least and it's COOL.

A co-worker of mine made it out to Faire too!  It was fun seeing him there, he said he had a good time; and he brought his wife.  She's from Germany and since we have a girl that's supposed to be from Germany she stopped and gave her a short lesson on how to say things like: "My love is for sale" and "I am a lady of the evening" she wouldn't teach Elsa to swear.  It's funny Elsa knows how to say "I am a whore" even in sign language.

This weekend we had a little girl come to the Bell and have us sign our names in her Disney autograph album...we did.  The Dad had a good laugh when he read the names...I'll include them at the bottom of this blog entry - you can laugh too.

One of the Ploughboys (they're part of the Washing Well Woman) came by to show us his hoe...it has a merkin, a scarlet letter and a hoe-bag.  In the hoe-bag he's got little charms: crabs, fish, beaver, santa (it's a ho, ho hoe-bag), STD (yes, letter blocks)...he was hilarious.

The other Ploughboy came by and sang us a song for donations about his Willy-I-O. Yeah, it was worth the money...wish he'd come by on Sunday...I would've paid to hear his naughty song about a mermaid.

This week the best patron award goes to an older woman who was being pushed in a wheel-chair wearing oxygen...she STILL came to Faire and dressed her chair up as a ship "The Dirty Gurtie," she was wearing a basket with a crow on her head (crow's nest) and the crow was a HW jobbie so it crowed when you pressed a button...TOTALLY ROCK ON.

Worst Patron award tied...it goes to both the guy who came in green and black striped stockings and two pair of antlers on his head (second weekend I saw HIM) and the pair of fairies that were HUGE men with wigs and teeney tiny wings. *shudder* oh the back hair.

Speaking of back hair...we did get merkins peddaled to us at the Bell - made from the finest  human hair from Italy, loveingly shaved from the finest backs of the FINEST Italian women. :-D

And on that note, I'll let you be!  See you next Weekend for the FAIRE REPORT.
