Kansas City Ren Fest is my home show and favorite, but I love the Florida run of shows too. FLARF rocks. This year I am honored to be the RESCU Rally Captain at FLARF at GLMF. my website is www.enchantedchains.com
About Me
I am a beautiful, buxom, divorced, neo-pagan "jewitch", doggie mom, in my late 30's. I own, and am the primary creative force behind, Enchanted Chains Jewelry.
The business is a labor of love and is a rebirth for me... The realization of a dream that I have been carrying around inside me, unfulfilled, for more than a decade.
I do mostly renaissance festivals in 6 states (MO, KS, OH, IL, OK, and FL)
I have 2 shelties names McCuan and Morrigan, and they are my loves!
Please feel free to check out the pix of me, the kids, and a sampling of my jewelry.
I thank you, dear reader, for your interest in me and my line of unique items for sale. Blessed Be to you all and may all your dreams come true too!!!!!!!
Music
Alternative and 80's mostly, but kind of ecclectic as I also like Broadway ("Chess" and "Pippin" are favs), the Indigo Girls, 3 Pints Gone, The Minstrals of Mayhem, Styx, Meatloaf, and Christine Lavin too.
I also like to listen to talk radio, even more than music, and I am addicted to "Opie and Anthony". I love my XM satellite radio!
Movies
I love most comedies and anything by Kevin Smith. My all time favorite is "Gross Point Blank". I enjoy a good dramatically told story and suspense too.
TV
Survivor, Law and Order and SVU, Psych, Grey's Anatomy, Weeds, Top Chef, Boston Legal, Wife Swap, Rescue Me, and Nip/Tuck are some of my favorites. Of the new fall season, I like Chuck and Dirty Sexy Money a lot.
Books
Janet Evanovitch's "Stephanie Plum Series". James Patterson's "Alex Cross" and "Woman's Murder Club" series. Sue Grafton's "A,B,C" series. If there is a mystery to be solved I am all over it.
Likes
Shelties. Tall, Dark men who look good in Tights and Kilts. Days that I can make jewelry all day. Eating out. And Tivo.
I guess I would have to say I am a bit of a practical romantic. I am steady and stable in my life, but I long to be swept away and complimented outragously. I like to eat out, sushi and chinese are favs, and those who know me will agree that I am NOT a "domestic goddess" I love to be in my camper, especially out at the Camp Gaea Retreat Center. There is nothing I like more than to be up on the ridge, watching the moon rise on a cool night, by the fire, listening to the coyotes call. An evening made only that much more special when sharing it.

Glad you guys will be able to get together. Long distance relationships can not be easy. I will send you the pics. They aren't that good but I'm sure you will enjoy them. How are the boys....your furry children. They are so neat. Just found out two weeks ago that my fav. kitty has feline leukemia. He will be 2 years old on the 15th. I didn't put him down and he seems to be doing better. Take care.
Yes it was wonderful. i had way too good of a time, my only regret was that I didn't spend late nights at the fort with the pirates. i will next year. some where I have a couple pics with you and your man in it, during the wench carry in the Olymic event. I was just admiring my jewelry the other day that I bought from you. My friends, Bob and Barb are still in Florida, they should be back here to Iowa soon. I just made a new pirate coat and chemise. May wear them to a small town bar next weekend, as this celtic group I like will be playing. How are your furry children. Just found out my fav. cat has feline leukema. I chose not to put him down yet, brought him back home, and he's made a great recovery for now. I get a few more days, hopefully years to love him up . Problem is, he is back to roaming the house. I took one of my cats in to get her booster shots, my other cat is 18 years old, and not doing so well, and another cat, lives in my sons bed room. My dog would be lost without my sick cat. I will have to put him down if he gets bad though. Are you still with your kilt man from Mich? It was great meeting you. Will have to email you those pics. Do you have another email address. I leave for 4 days in Chicago monday, so I wouldn't get them to you till next weekend. Take care. Carol
did you finally get to indy?
