The Renaissance Faire


The Renaissance Faire!  We loved this experience!  After attending the faire last year, Heather wanted to come back, and she wanted to come back in costume.  Thanks to some thrifty shopping, we were able to put together her Steampunk outfit.  Yes, it's the Renaissance Faire, but Steampunk is a huge theme.  My favorite was pulling together all the bits and pieces of costume we'd collected over the year to make a fun costume.

We invited Grace and Sheryl, our awesome, Renaissance-loving dear friends, to go with us.  There were beautiful costumes, a joust, great food, and the occasional passer-by who would ask Heather about her Drabbit (see picture of Heather talking to a pirate looking chap).  Heather brought her Drabbit (half dragon, half rabbit), Clover, whom she purchased at last year's faire, and this event is definitely one arena where creatures of all shapes and sizes are welcome.  I could expound on that statement as it pertains to the people who attend (there are some things, ahem, bosoms, that a girl of 14 should not have to see), but I was talking about the Drabbit, so I'll move on.   Clover's head moves up and down, and right to left, so she looks pretty realistic and attracts a lot of attention.

Heather and I had so much fun on our adventure, and we loved spending the day with our friends!
