| 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 this page I will start listing 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!
I also have a faire ready 16' trailer that makes
a great ready booth. Hopefully I can get pictures soon.
DULCIMER**Look soon for a new page featuring a beautiful,
hardly-played custom-made fretted ducimer. Ebony fret-board, celtic
sound holes, inlaid mother-of-pearl on fret-board...Harp, rose
and sun (for Indus). 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 $35/ 100, minimum of
500 pieces, $32/100, minimun 1000. 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. They are even less expensive than most undyed
peacock that you can buy online. There are some solid color bundles,
green , purple, red, burgundy, blue, teal and ecru.
Use on hats and other items or sell by the piece as novelty item.
$175/500, $.35 each, retail $.75-1.25 each
$320/1000, $.32 ea 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!

PAGE 1 *** PAGE 2***TRAILER***DULCIMER
Parts of items made from feathers and other natural
materials may vary slightly in appearance.
Basic
Care & Feeding
Fans should not be stored at high temperatures and never left for any
length of time in a hot car. It is perfectly safe to wear your fan outside
in the sun, but fans containing dyed feathers should not be stored for
long periods in sunlight, it will fade the dyes. Natural feathers can
attract those same pesky moths that attack your wool clothing and flour.
Store with mothballs or other mothproofing such as lavender oil. Fans
that are displayed should be dusted weekly by blowing thoroughly with
a blow-dryer.
