| If you spend money buying celtic items at any scottish, ren-fairs, or irish festivals, how much would you say you average spending when at the festival? Do not include foods into this total! Thanks ! |

| Well, as I am more than Scottish () when it comes to money I would say between $50-100 seldom more... Moreoften even less. |

| As for me, it all depends on if i really want the item. lil dodads i may buy... but i will spend hundreds if i saw an instrument or something else i really wanted and new i couldnt get it elsewhere (like ebay)... food and drink should never be counted in the dodad column. cause ya gotta eat. so feel free spend away. they all except plastic. |

| The least I spent was 5.00 on a Celtic knot toe ring the most 475.00 on garb. Total I could have bailed a small country out of debt. |

| Gypsey could you explain your post? It isn't clear what you are talking about to me Annabelle |

| what I am saying is I have spent as little as 5.00 at some events and as much as 500.00 at others. Sometimes I spend nothing because I cna not decide what I need the most. I am sorry, am I misunderstanding the question?? |

| This year I bought two boots for over $650 each. |

boots? $650/ea. sooo like $1300/pair..... i just bought some boots and hated to spending $65/pair.... i think you need to post pictures of these boots.... and if we ever do meet for a pint...... you buy..... good to see you madadh it's been awhile.... gypseyreyne i think annabelle was confused with the term garb. annabelle garb is renaissance faire talk for clothes or costume.  |

| let's see....Irish Fest 2006 I spent about $50 on CD's alone...about another $50 in trinkets (including some really kick-butt pure lambs wool scarfs)... admission was 12/day...3 days...$36 food about $20/day...3 days....$60 transportation $7/day (roundtrip shuttle bus)....$21 beer....at about $4-$5/beer...I think I had one...was busy having too much fun to drink....go figure. so all in all the trinkets was a little less than half of my festival budget this year |

| My best reply would be...not nearly as much as I would like to. In the real world my biggest purchase was this year...$400 for a kilt. But I will usually spend up to $200.00 if unforseen circumstances don't keep popping up and I actually have some of my money left over. |
