Use this 2010 Homebuyer Tax Credits for new Ren Costumes

Thursday, February 25, 2010




There is great news for people that are Buying First Home. This tax credit is for the sum of $8,000.00 under certain conditions. I'll explain how to get this tax credit so get your pen and paper. You'll want to plan your shopping spree for all those great renaissance costumes when your return check comes in the mail.

Start out by watching the video above, if you haven't done that already. The video goes into detail about this great opportunity to receive a generous tax benefit. It is geared towards first time home buyers who have not purchased a home within the last three years. But the deal has grown a little sweeter than originally. This tax credit is also open to home buyers who want a change of scenery after living in the same home for five years. Take note that this is a little smaller than the credit offered to first time home owners in 2010. Movers will get a $6,500 which is still a fantastic incentive to buy a new home.

I think it's a fabulous way to stimulate a sluggish economy and encourage people to continue living for their dream life by finding the house to build a home. There are a few conditions that must be met to qualify for this tax credit so please pay special attention to the details. You have to attain a written binding contract by April 30th and there can be no extensions. The closing deadline is June 30, 2010 so people have a two month window from purchase to closure. Coldwell Banker provided this information so contact them for further details.

One more thing I feel needs to be mentioned. The income limits are $125,000 for singles and $225,000 for married couples. If you're in the market and you fit into those guidelines, now is the time to buy the home of your dreams and enjoy some extra cash in your pocket for a great summer vacation.

Visit often over the next few months to see what my research uncovers and to learn about this year's plans.

The Phoenix Swords are traveling artists who entertain with theatrical performances and sword fighting demonstrations at renaissance festivals and pirate faires. Visit their site for an archive of video and photographs of their fun and fancy demonstrations about life in the medieval and renaissance era, using theatre to educate and entertain.

The Phoenix Swords will entertain next at The St. Gregory Medieval Festival in Danbury, Connecticut on May 16 & 17th. Visit their calendar page to learn about their performances past and present.

I'll be sharing my thoughts about this fascinating theatrical group and their fencing expertise. I want a chance to review their website and to visit the history of their shows then I'll come back to tell you about it. I'm hoping to conduct an interview with Fenix and Temper, who contacted me for this review in response to a message that I posted on facebook. From what I've read about the members of Phoenix Swords, they are a well educated, professional and interesting group of people. I want to find out more.

I have decided to add regular updates on performances and groups worthy of note along with adding a calendar page. Phoenix Swords will become a regular feature on this blog along with some of the other interesting people that I meet along my way.

Too Rainy in Texas for the Faire

Tuesday, April 7, 2009

I was disappointed traveling through Texas looking for a renaissance faire to try out my new skirts. It was just too windy, stormy, muddy and rainy. There were so many downpours moving through central and western Texas that an outside event would not have held up against all that water. Tornadoes have been ravaging the area, too. I think I'll return to Texas when Mother Nature gets finished birthing spring.
