Do not include foods into this total! Thanks ! -------------------- My heart will always be in the Highlands! www.highlanderhouse.com

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.

Musican/Ruler of the Dells/Warrior Group: Ireland Posts: 1,134 Joined: 03-Nov-2005 Zodiac: Hazel Realm: Caer Portshire, Mist Hollow	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 -------------------- Senara-ism : Life is like a theatrical production only you get to be actor, director, and audience all at once.

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. -------------------- Unavoidably Detained by the World "Irishness is not primary a question of birth or blood or language; it is the condition on being involved in the Irish situation, and usually of being mauled by it."-Conor Cruise O'Brien Pour mouth to mouth
