Whimseywear Masks
Whimseywear Fans

I am retiring from most of the Renaissance Faire show circuit. Although masks, fans etc will still be available on the website and by order, I will no longer carry some of my "point-of-sale" merchandise.

On these pages you will find items and supplies and merchandise that I will be discontinuing. They will be offered far below wholesale prices and only in quantity lots. More to come. Feel free to inquire about other supplies.

Most of these items make perfect additions to booths at craft, Renaissance, Victorian and Civil War type faires. Great fundraisers for groups, door prizes, memberships gifts and raffles prizes!

DULCIMER**I am also selling a beautiful, custom-made fretted dulcimer. I have had littel time to play it over the years. Ebony fret-board, celtic sound holes, inlaid mother-of-pearl on fret-board...Harp, rose and sun (for Indus Arthur). Comes with great hard case, tools and strap. Incredible sound, stays tuned beautifully! Paid almost $3000..sell for $800.

PEACOCK EYE FEATHERS

These are a mix of 36 and 45" stems. They are all custom dyed. My original wholesale cost, including the dyeing was $50-65/100 depending on length and had to be dyed in lots of 2000 each color. They are available, while they last, for $32/ 100, minimum of 500 pieces. Some are all one color, some bundles mixed. They retail for $.75-1.25 each and are a great draw to any booth for inexpensive impulse purchase requiring absolutely no work investment! Less expensive than most UNDYED peacock that you can buy online. Some bundles all oen color, most are mixed.
Use on hats and other items or sell by the piece as novelty item.

Take all that is left $25/100

 

BOXED, PAINTED FEATHER BUTTERFLIES

Original wholelsale for quantity lots on these was $6-9 per box. Retail almost double. Each piece is wired and can be used to decorate hats or can have a clip or pin added for hair, hat or to wear on the shoulder. Add ribbons, feathers or silk flowers to a wooden stick for a butterfly wand. Use to trim head wreaths and hats. Finished with a simple clip or pin they can retail singly from $5-14 each. Most styles have 12 pieces, there is one heavily painted style that has 6, (only a few boxes left, far right side of pic) but your cost per piece is $.40 for most.

$5 per box, mixed styles, minimum 10 boxes. Share with friends and you are still paying less than you can buy wholesale!
