Red-Handed Jill Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 Wow - I've been going to ren faires and the like for almost 25 years and haven't seen much in the way of buttons up here. Must be t-shirts up north, buttons down south or some such thing. I've seen the buttons of the type you've mentioned for sale in stores, but haven't noticed folks here at faires wearing them.

But why is the rum gone? Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a knife in your back.
Sir Eric Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 Buttons are becoming somewhat popular at the small tent faires in the midwest. We're even selling them now. Some of them won't make sense if you haven't seen our show, but to get a small sampling, check out this link NOAH: Wow... the whole world flooded in just less than a month, and us the only survivors! Hey... is that another... do you see another boat out there? Wait a minute... is that a... that's... are you seeing a skull and crossbones on that flag? Ministry of Petty Offenses
Christine Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 The wearing of buttons reminds me of what the hippies did in the 60s and 70s. How many remember the buttons like "Love is a 4 letter word" or "Frodo lives!" Both my parents were hippies and wore all that stuff. Sounds like the ren faires are becoming hippie fests all over again.
Christine Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 Yup, I just never looked too closely at what people wore on their garb. I guess I should start then huh? that would mean having to enjoy yourself at faire ! Nah nevermind too many of those skank dogs wanting to pick up on you and take you out to write bad checks on them.... Huh?! lol! I have fun anyway, even tho I never noticed these buttons before.
Cpt Sophia M Eisley Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 Captain Chelle, which vendor would that be? I've been dying ta get me hands on one of those pewter pins, but can never figure out where ta get em. it would be K. Dopita Studio but I dont know if they have a website or not. Here's the site, though she notes she doesn't have all of her work online. http://www.kdopitastudio.com/ Perhaps we'll meet again under better circumstances. ---(---(@ Dead Men...Tell No Tales.

Christine Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 Well, I think it depends on the faire. Some more so than others. But always at night, in the encampment does it become very hippie-like, no matter which faire yer at. :)
Rummy3 Posted September 21, 2005 Author Posted September 21, 2005 I wear one pirate pin that simply says, "TREASURE CHEST"
Rumba Rue Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 No Quarter Given has tons of buttons! Not all are listed on the site however. I don't know if there will be a booth at Ojai, but if there is, check out all the buttons! Wearing buttons on one's clothing is a more recent thing within the last few years. Prior, we were all trying to be 'politically correct' and comply with the event rules of events whose rules were strict. But since a lot of the events tend to cross-over into fantasy, (like the fairies and Wilds), a lot of us just gave up and started adding fun sayings to our clothing. BTW- I was the first to suggest the "Kilt Inspector" several years ago to NQG, and it took off from there! That's cuz I was always runnin' my hand up the backside o' some guy in a skirt. No not the front, I do have some little sense of decency.
First mate Jeramiah Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 these pins ye be seein are quite fun, saw a booth at the Gig Harbor ren fair. I got one i ware upside down that says "pillage plunder burn" that way i dont mix up the order and put burn first, no one wants burnt plunder. Another one i have is "will plunder for food" and one me lass shipmate wears is "Pirate booty".
Rummy3 Posted September 22, 2005 Author Posted September 22, 2005 Here's one... "Thar's a message in me bottle" And there is always... "Blow Me Down"
Killian Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 Got me one from No Quarter Given that says "Rum Breakfast of Champions"
The Doctor Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 "I'm the Scoundrel Yer Mother Warned Ye About..." :) Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that?
The Doctor Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 I wear one pirate pin that simply says, "TREASURE CHEST" You have to admire truth in advertising... Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that?

hurricane Posted September 23, 2005 Posted September 23, 2005 I don't do buttons. A pirate wouldn't be caught dead with one on him. Or perhaps he would.

Rummy3 Posted September 30, 2005 Author Posted September 30, 2005 Here's one for Scarlet ... The day just wouldn't be complete without a Knight! :angry:
Diego Santana de la Vega Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 i cant find any of the blasted bottons ye be talkin about They are in display cases and wicker bowls in shops at every faire lass! But jes in case the likes a you all aren't the awares.... NOW KIDDIES THIS AREA IS OFF LIMITS SO DON'T READ IT! You have to ask the pin vendors for their X rated box (they don't keep it out can't actually but) 55% of em have one and those secret stashes have some really nice prizes in 'em.......
