The Renaissance Faire!!

Have you ever been to a Renaissance Fair? Especially a small town's version of a Renaissance Fair?

No?

Good!

Because I am going to take you to one today!

Let's follow this fair maiden and child, shall we?

Follow them with me:

Do you hear bagpipe music?

I can!

And look, a darling group of lads and lassies are dancing to the bagpipes:

Aye, look at this lassie's rosy cheeks as she dances!:




Wait a minute.

I think I would MUCH rather look at this LAD:




I think I will follow him around for a while.


You know....


Just for educational purposes.






Here is one of the many booths with goodes for sale:





I loved these walking sticks!:




One of my favorite things: BAGPIPES!

I know this bagpiper.

He is actually a lawyer.

Actually he loves playing the bagpipes for everyone!

His last name is McGregor.

What else would it be?

Here is one serious Maiden. I loved her focus. But I loved her neck flask even more.
I wonder what she was thinking?

I probably should have bought one of these masks by then. After all, I was stalking people and taking pictures of them! (I figured, if they dressed up in costume, they must have wanted me to, right?)

Here is another great costume!

Who could resist a man in tights?:

Just in case this all has gotten you in the mood to dress for the occassion:

All of a sudden, I have an urge to read

Puss and Boots.

I wonder why?:

There were palm readers there, but I didn't have time to get mine read (darn!)

But I did have time to look for mystical things.

I loved this one:

But I forged ahead:

Get it?

Forged ahead???? (Yeah, I crack thee up).



I want to invite these two to my next dinner party! I loved them. They were into it!:

If you want to be prepared for battle, I have just the equipment for you.

Anyone for a steel jock strap?:

Or, are you more of a swordsman?

The silverwork on this sword handle is so pretty, maybe you could hang one from your belt?

(Wear it to work tomorrow, and act normal. I bet you get first in line at the water cooler!):

This little boy was getting ready to perform a dance in his kilt.

Look how serious he was thinking of what he will be doing soon.

I loved him!:

You could get thee some coins or antique wares to spend on a wench or bartender:

And,

IF ALL ELSE FAILS,

You can get some dinosaur teeth!:

How cool are THEY????

Get thee busy now....you have wasted enough time on me blog just playin' around at the Faire!!
