Come Ye To The Faire!

October 28, 2009 By Carole

Dale and I had a marvelous time at King Richard’s Faire last Sunday. The day was sunny and the air was crisp, a perfect day to dress in renaissance garb and check out the faire. We wandered around and drank beer, admiring all the things to see and do.

mug on head guy

There were guys who carried their beers on their heads.

dance troupe

And there were singers and dancers.

freak on a green horse

There were freaks on dragons.

glass blower

And artisans, like glass blowers.

king richard

There was a king, of course.

fur people

There were scary creatures with fur and fangs.

pretty cottage

And there were picturesque little cottages.

Best of all, though, was this one sexy wizard. I brought him home with me. I just couldn’t help myself.

    I love the Sherpa Dude gone Wizard! The earring is the crowning touch! One day I’d like to take a glass blowing class. Great photos. Thanks for sharing your day.

    We had Queen Elizabeth the First at our fair. If you visit my blog and check September’s posts I have pictures from our trip to the Renaissance Festival. They are fun and strange.

    Great photos. Nice wizard!

    I love everyone’s enthusiasm. I wouldn’t begin to know what to do for a costume. And…Hubba, hubba. That’s one fine wizard you got yourself.

    Renaissance Faires are so much fun! Thanks for taking us on a tour. It looks like the best man of the lot came home with you.

  8. Jean says

    That is a GREAT picture of Dale. The sky is the perfect backdrop!

  9. Judy says

    I just love a good wizard!! And you were dressed how?

  10. Norma says

    October 28, 2009 at 8:47 am

    Ditto what Jean said.

  11. Ruth says

    Love that picture of Dale.

  12. Jenny Bennett says

    October 28, 2009 at 10:21 am

    Love the pictures-fun!!! By the way, do you ever get to use your antique sock machine? Was it easy to learn how to use? (Saw the machine at the end of your post-I remembered you writing about it before)

  13. Jo-Ann says

    October 28, 2009 at 10:26 am

    The faire is always fun! Glad you had a wonderful day … and I promise not to tell Dale about you bringing the wizard home with you 😉

  14. Knitnana says

    October 28, 2009 at 10:31 am

    Oh that’s looks like delightful fun! And I don’t blame you one bit for bringing that dude home!
    (((hugs)))

    October 28, 2009 at 10:44 am

    Those are great pictures, especially the one of Dale. That all looks like a lot of fun.

    Good luck today with Hannah.

    How wonderful! It looks like so much fun.

    I love the faire! We go most years, but missed it this year. You had such gorgeous weather too — next year, we’ll be back. And one year I’ll have the guts to dress up myself. Looks like Dale had fun doing it!

  18. kmkat says

    October 28, 2009 at 12:30 pm

    What great photos! Especially the one of Dale 🙂 (I can see why you call him sexy — am I the only one who wondered about the *staff* he is holding?)

    ::ducks and runs away::

    Love the picture of Dale. Where were the pictures of you this year???

  20. Lorette says

    October 28, 2009 at 2:01 pm

    You found a great Wizard! Was there knitting or spinning at the faire?

  21. Sara says

    October 28, 2009 at 2:42 pm

    Well, I must say – you certainly picked the best looking wizard to bring home…

    How did you dress???

    Looks like such a fun time…

    BTW – the photo of Dale is really good…everything about it is good!

  22. Kathode Ray Tube says

    October 28, 2009 at 2:42 pm

    Sexy wizard….I’m sure his wizardess is too!

  23. Lucia says

    October 28, 2009 at 2:46 pm

    Just gotta go one of these years. With luck I’d find a wizard of my own.

  24. Martha says

    October 28, 2009 at 2:51 pm

    So you’re saying there’s a “Sexy Wizard” booth? Like, right next to the glassblowers or something?

  25. elizabeth says

    October 28, 2009 at 3:14 pm

    Where’s the picture of YOU?!?! :o)

  26. michele dovell says

    Glad you got a souvenir… 🙂

  28. Ina says

    October 28, 2009 at 6:17 pm

    Looks like fun, not to mention you brought home a great fairing!

  29. Cookie says

    October 28, 2009 at 6:30 pm

    Isn’t he lovely? I don’t blame you a bit for needing to keep him.

    Looks like a wonderful day.

  30. Stephanie says

    October 28, 2009 at 6:53 pm

    What a handsome guy. I think you made the right decision bringing him home. I’m glad you had fun!

  31. vanessa says

    October 28, 2009 at 7:29 pm

    you are one lucky lassie.
    fun!

  32. Imbrium says

    October 28, 2009 at 9:05 pm

    See, you guys have the right idea. Colorado’s Ren Faire is in July, and walking around in a brocade dress when it’s a billion degrees outside is no good.

  33. Kim says

    October 28, 2009 at 10:56 pm

    What a guy your Dale is!! I love the wizard costume…..you two have so much fun together! 🙂

  34. Kim says

    October 28, 2009 at 10:58 pm

    What a guy your Dale is!! I LOVE the wizard costume…..you two have so much fun together! 🙂

    Do we get to see your costume?

  35. Sarah says

    October 29, 2009 at 12:22 am

    That looks like so much fun. I may need to attend one of those events some day.

  36. Asia says

    October 29, 2009 at 3:26 am

    I LOVE King Richard’s Faire. It’s not as big as the renaissance faires back in my home state of California, but it’s a shorter drive from where I live in the south shore and is still a great time.

    I haven’t had a chance to go really in the last couple of years, but I remember that dude who balances the stein on his head!

  37. MMario says

    October 29, 2009 at 1:03 pm

    Don’t know if you saw it but there WAS spinning and knitting going on at the faire. and “Vampie-ahs”

  38. Teyani says

    October 30, 2009 at 1:58 pm

    What a great photo series of the faire!! You really capture the spirit of it. And I think Dale makes a perfect wizard.
