If you're a retailer I hope you'll check out my storefront; and please let me know if you find any issues with it, I am still figuring out the new platform.
I am especially looking for retailers or potential stockists in Canada, Europe, and Asia; feel free to contact me on social media to discuss a special deal.
Ren Faire at a MALL?!?! Exploring the Canterbury Medieval Faire
Renaissance Faires have always been a favorite escape of mine. I have been going to ren faire since I was a little girl, and I love dressing up and immersing myself in that fantasy world. But in recent years, ren faires have become super popular and really crowded. As a bit of an introvert, I can only handle so much--so I started looking for a smaller, more intimate ren faire experience. And I found a rather unique one--the Canterbury Medieval Faire which is held at Canterbury Village, an open-air mall in Lake Orion, MI. Join me as I explore this gem of a ren faire!
Eloa's dance: Did you know that the common raven is one of few birds that can fly in a corkscrew pattern? Similarly, raven harpies can do this too, flipping, spinning, and even soaring upside down. Though, as I'm not permitted to fly in the Sherwood forest I stay in, I love showing off my moves while dancing
Question for creators who have used Faire Wholesale before to sell their stuff:
I am honestly blown away by how unprofessional this is, but I've been working on setting up a Faire shop for my day job and ran into a major issue. I'm a marketing department of 1 and I wear about 10 hats, so it hasn't been getting much of my attention. Just getting to it and setting up listings whenever I can. I've been getting 3-4 emails a day from Faire about needing to activate the shop, asking when I'd get it done, telling me I needed to finish various steps to activate it. I repeatedly replied explaining the whole "marketing department of 1" thing, and then today I login to find they activated it for us without permission.
There is no banking info or tax info attached to the account. We hadn't gotten shipping set up properly. We were still reviewing our pricing on some things.
Yet Faire launched the shop without permission and we already have an order that we can't even view because nothing is set up on our end yet! I can't even contact the customer to explain because it's demanding that I put in banking info first and that's not something I personally have access to, I have to wait for our HR lady to do it.
I went in and unpublished all our products because it was the only thing I could see TO do. And now we're missing out on the first week promotion stuff they offer, because we weren't actually ready to launch.
I submitted a support ticket, but I just wanted to see if this has happened to anyone else? Because I can't wrap my head around it at all. I'll be meeting with my boss tomorrow and discussing just not using Faire at all, because if this is the stuff they're going to pull then they're clearly not a safe company to be working with.
Kel-Mei! She's gone through a lot of changes. She's an NPC I created as a part of my DND character’s backstory for my PC Washu. Left: original concept piece, Right: How she looks now!
Yes, she went from Dragonborn to Dragon! (So did Washu. It’s a long story.)
