Bristol Renaissance Faire

This is the second year that I've attended the Bristol Renaissance Faire in Michigan. It was a very hot, sunny day. Many of the vendors and food stalls were the same as before but there were some new ones.
 
I was amazed at the different coloured leather skins that were available at a stall I didn't see last year. Anyone working with leather certainly had their pick of colours as well as natural coloured ones.

I loved the miniature fairy village (it wasn't there last year either). The photos don't do justice to the details on the pieces. Speaking of fairies, I got photos of three fairies this year. My little granddaughter was smitten by them. She's the little rag-a-muffin pictured below.

Enjoy!

More Photos

Here are a few more photos from the Bristol Renaissance Faire. There were embroiderers stitching at various stations during the faire. The various costumes been worn and those on display, were heavily embroidered as well.

Enjoy!

Costumes at the Bristol Renaissance Faire

I mentioned awhile back that I had visited the Bristol Renaissance Faire. It was well worth the visit and I'm looking forward to another visit next summer. The costumes were very elaborate with lots of embroidery. Here are a few 'textile / stitchery related photos from my day at the fair'!


Fairy up a tree.
This little one was fascinated with her.
