Just finished two weekends at Escondido. I had a blast. I met a lot of people because of Renspace, including The Archer (his real name is George!) I also got a lot of people to subscribe and now I have more new friends! (Hi everyone!)

I can't even tell you how much I love doing Faire. I love everything about it except tear down and the aching feet at the end. My husband doesn't get it, but he lets me go cause he knows how much I love it. My kids know, cause they go too! My youngest plays Lady Grace, the Queens youngest Maid of Honour.

If you see me at Escondido or Ojai, please say hi. I carry a camera (Flemish Painter!) with me at all times and I would like to start collecting pics of my friends and I. I wish I had thought of it at Esco! I will only be at Ojai on Sunday due to a previous obligation. I won't be in nobles because it's too much trouble for one day, but I will be with St E's and the Court. I will be in peasant or household garb. Please look me up! I'm also hoping to go to Balboa, Corona, and Lake Elsinore. Unfortunately, I'll miss Southern this year. :-(

 It was great meeting people on line and in person! Stay in touch.

Love, Stephany
