I somehow managed not to get a single photo of myself, or any of the rest of us in garb which makes me sad. When all was said and done this week I had repaired one skirt, turned a chemise into a skirt, altered an old chemise, altered Seth's pants and tunic and made a tunic for my nephew in about an hour. Not bad at all. I will have to check with my sister to see if she got any pics of the finished products.My nephew had only been to Faire once before and he was too young to remember anything, but he had a blast with us. HE wants full garb for his next visit and even bought himself a long belt to hand things from. Huzzah to recruiting another rennie. :)
This year there were a couple of new acts. Carnivale...which is a sword duo, very cute though the wet stage was causing no end of troubles.
Cast in Bronze... which is a travelling Carillon of bells, we bought two of the cds because this was amazing. If you get a chance, ever, check it out. It blew me away.
It rained for a bit which made it hard to take picture, but I got a lot of good ones, and will get more on the next trip down. For now though, enjoy...

Had a great time. Made a couple of purchases. I got a beautiful leather piece to hold my pins and faire favors, a pair of super cute silver bee earrings to keep in my top hole, this years festival pilsners, and I bought a leather top hat for Seth which will be for our wedding. I will get photos of these and post soon.
Blessings!!
