Shopping!!! Did you forget shopping? There are many items that SCA
merchants do not provide regularly which can be purchased at a Ren
Fair. For example, shoes; I really cannot make my own pair of leather
shoes (not that talented--or patient) and I've never met an SCA merchant
who sold shoes. I could order from a catalog, but then I'd have to risk
poor quality. So I save my money all year to go to a Ren Fair and
outifit myself with all the stuff I've been needing. Fortunately, I was
able to go (last weekend) to a Ren Fair and now I have everything I've
been needing for *years*. Now I can concentrate on making a new list of
I-wants.
