I loved some of the costumes I saw. Plus, the F bomb, that was just too funny. We had a much better day than I thought we would, yay!!!!
Now I am tired. It was crazy hot out, and I think that zapped m my energy. Night all! Kitt ☺️

We have Niles Renaissance Faire this weekend. We are all packed up and looking forward to going. Plus, right over the state line is a place called T. Allan’s King Gyro. We love that place so much. And it is so close to the Renaissance faire. Yay.
Plus, I woke up to good news of getting the 120 square foot chalet instead of the 90 square foot. Yay twice!!!
But now to bed. This weekend is going to be another busy one, and I am hoping to get some sleep. Night all. Wish us luck. I will try and take more pictures! Kitt ☺️
The weekend was long, cold, busy, fun, and tiring. I learned that this renaissance faire was not for me. I also learned that my friend and her daughter snore in unison. It’s quite funny, or it would be if I wasn’t trying to sleep. Lol
I know I said I would take more pictures on Sunday. I failed miserably with that. I only got one. It is a pendent I traded a couple of dragons for, which I love so much!!!!
We did wegood there financially, but the issues we encountered were more than I wanted to deal with for what we made. If you like renaissance faires, though, Royal Stagg is good. Just not for us to vend at again. Kitt ☺️
We are finally at the hotel from setting up at the Renaissance faire this weekend. I am hoping we do well. But if what I am seeing, it will be questionable. But I am going to try and keep an open mind.
These are some pictures of our booth and some around us. I will take more pictures tomorrow of it open.
So it has been a long day, and I am going to get ready to relax a little, then try and get some sleep. Night night everyone! Wish us luck tomorrow. Kitt ☺️
This week starts my crazy May. This weekend, I have Royal Stagg Renaissance faire in Marshall, MI. I only have a couple of things I hope to make, but if i dont it isn’t a big deal.
Next weekend, I have Niles Renaissance faire in Niles MI.whatever I sell in Royal Stagg, I have to try and replenish. Oh, and did I mention I am also working during this time.
Then, on the 25th, my Chalet shop opens for the season. This means that whatever I sell between the two faires, I will have to try and replenish. You know… no pressure….
Okay, lots and lots of pressure. But I am up to it. Besides, I would rather sell my items than hold them back and hope they sell later. I would rather just try and replenish what I can.
Sadly, because of hurting my knee, I was not able to make more toes. So what I have is it. But I do have a few so happy thoughts.
I did finish up the tails I wanted to make and figured out the fur wrist cuffs to match some of the tails. Now I need to make ears and, if time, some tail ketchains.
Luckily, this week I only work 1 day, which is tomorrow. Sadly, I have a follow-up appointment for my knee 2 hours before I am scheduled off work. I rarely, if ever, work Mondays, so of course I am scheduled this Monday and till 10 am when it is normally 9 am. Oh well, I will just be leaving early.
Wish me luck that my follow-up appointment goes well and I can get everything done I need to this week. Night and sweet dreams! Kitt ☺️
What are your future travel plans?
My family and I are setting up at a renaissance fair at Clayshire Castle in Indiana
https://www.clayshirecastle.com/medieval-faire.html
We like setting up at these and seeing All the fun costumes and wares everyone makes. If you are in the area come check it out. It’s our first time there so wish us luck! Kitt 😊❤️
Hey everyone, I forgot to tell you about this one afterwards. But I remembered, yay me and yay you. Lol
Here we go…. Niles was fine. At first I thought we were going to have a great spot, ended up not so great once Swords of Valor set up. They completely blocked our tent from sight. Which, don’t get me wrong, I love Swords of Valor. They are a great bunch of people who do a great show. I just don’t think a vendor should have been put behind their set up. Honestly, if you can go and see their performance, it’s amazing.
The people who came out were an interesting mix. From everyday wear to elaborate costumes to even a couple Doctor Who. Great verity.
Sorry no pictures of the Doctors though. Sad I know but I do my best!
The visitors who came out were nice and chatty and some were down right fun. Like the above picture. She put that together in a month I think she said. Wow!
Besides for bad placement it was a fun time. We are looking forward to next year to see what it will bring.
Do you like renaissance faires? If so let me know. I am always on the look out for new ones. Kitt 🧚♂️🐉🔮
Today we are at Niles Renaissance Faire. Will did it last year, it was actually our first faire, and it was so much fun. A lot of work, but fun.
We are back for a second year and hoping to have more fun and hopefully make some money.
One of the new items being sold is ears and tails.
I will take pictures of a tail on someone to show you later and give a little update.

If you are in the Niles, Michigan area, right on the border between Michigan and Indiana come check us out. Or if you like a drive come check us out. It is at Plym Park on Niles Michigan and it will be going on from 10 to 6 on Saturday and 10 to 4 on Sunday.
Enjoy your day! Kitt 😊☺️♥️
I will start off by saying it was fun. My son had a great time fighting with the wood and foam swords. I got some cute pictures of others doing it, but never him. Timing am I right?!
Next we had some fun costumes people were in…
Then of course we had our booth…
And of course, no renaissance faire is complete without some bartering….
I love that pendant. I traded a clay dragon for the pendant and added it to my own personal tail keychain I made.
All in all, though we did not make a lot of money it was a learning experience of where it would be nice to visit but not set up again. But it was fun so that part was good. There were also wonderful vendors and entertainers. If you have a change next year to go, I really think you will have a good time.
Just as a reference to the beginning of this adventure, you can check out the first post here… https://kittandditakeonlife.wordpress.com/2023/05/12/royal-stagg-renaissance-faire/
