Hi Jeannelou,
 >      The SCA event went fine.  I grossed about $100.  That's not profit

And probably doesn't even begin to cover expenses.
I have done quite a few craft shows with my angels, but most have been here 
in town at the Civic Centre.  The entry fee is abt $250 for 2 booths (10' X 
10' ea) + $40 for corner booth + $30 for electricity (for Christmas tree 
lights).
This is for a 2 day show.  They've about priced themselves out of the market.
It is nice though to be inside and not have to worry about the weather.

Amazing what we can get away with when they are little....................

When you get back in the Spring, I may get some from you and see how they 
e.
I know that the regular tatting needles are different sizes for the different 
threads.  I have not gotten all the sizes yet.  I would imagine though that 
the very fine thread would use a small diam. needle to get a more lacey 
effect.

I should say that to the best of my knowledge Rennasaianse Festivals are not 
held in the area.
There is a group that does something from early times.  Some of the men were 
in looking for plaid fabric to make kilts and I found out that they practise 
their fighting skills at Tift Park here in town.
Also, while Hancock Fabrics was open, we had a group come in that had put on
a private show here in town for something/someone but that group was from VA,
if memory serves.  They were looking for fabrics, trims etc for their 
costumes.
I am located in Albany, GA
Oh! I'm actually writing this 8 Feb, had to fool the machine so it wouldn't 
delete my msg before I read them, I downloaded last week, and didn't get a
