I'll be performing Sat. and Sun. at the Summer Faire in the Northwest in Lacey WA at the Thurston Co. Fairgrounds, Celtic, fantasy, folk and shanty singing as always. Its a day-entry fantasy faire, with free admission (but pay to park)..
Our newly acquired tent trailer is having its inogural trip so we're excited, I think it will be just right for us.
So thankful for summertime, my favourite time of the year! In summer I swim/play in natural water each week. I can't recommend this enough as its incredibly healthful physically and emotionally.
Having the garden/vintage stand open when I can. Lately been singing at plazas for tips, at a private tea party (yes I do private events) and on facebook live, if you want to tune in send me a facebook friend request. I'm Riona Abhainn on facebook. Anyone can watch even if we're not friends though. I tend to only take friends who live in OR or WA on there, unless your facebook name is familiar to me from here, then I'd make an exception.
So I've come to the conclusion that hosting events at my house isn't for me. I'm disappointed in myself, as I always thought I'd be better at being the hostess with the mostess, but reality would indicate that I'm not. The attempts I've made at such have been really stressful rather than bringing me joy. Sure its easy to have a friend or 2 over at a time for dinner or to stay overnight, but having bigger events is harder than I'd thought it would be.
While I'm disappointed with this realization about my shortcomings, I need to make peace with it.
For more general info on what I',m growing etc., I have a thread on the homesteading forum.
Next year I'm definitely going to buy pie and just have one thread that appears both here and in homesteading, I did that for half of last year and it worked better than having these 2 seperate ones.
