\"Street<\/p>\n

This year the local SCA group provided a bit of historical flavor for the Renaissance section (though we did medieval, mostly – don’t tell anyone). There was fighting and dancing, of course, and I did “Medieval Housewife” and set up a display.<\/p>\n

\"Medieval<\/p>\n

I had the gamut: sewing and textile tools, of course, but also pottery, medieval foodstuffs, writing implements – whatever I thought would be neat to display. It was the first hot day of spring – nearly 90F – and the beeswax in my tablet heated enough to send its sweet aroma wafting around the display. <\/p>\n

\"Medieval<\/p>\n

Nick and I took a spin around the Fair to see the sights and eat fair food. The wildlife rescue group had an enormous skink and some raptors on display, including this piratical barn owl.<\/p>\n

\"Barn<\/p>\n

We also took a tour through the Redbud Quilt Guild display and competition, and saw some beautiful quilts. No interest in doing that myself, but I like to admire the work of others. <\/p>\n

Lots of pictures were taken of me in my Medieval Housewife clothes, but I don’t have any of them. Sorry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
