Well, it's that time of year again. When my reading time gets eaten up by my working most of the next next eight weeks without a break. 😳
But if any of you #MittenLittens are heading to #MiRF this season you'd better stop by the Crimson Chain Leatherworks booth and say hello. 😁
Bookwomble I've heard of Renaissance Fairs via US TV shows, though I'm not sure I really grasp what they're about or why they're seemingly something of an American institution. And those I've seen depicted seem to be medieval themed rather than Renaissance - can you enlighten a puzzled Briton as to what gives? 🤔 5y
Branwen Eeeee! I'm going on Saturday! Huzzah! I will certainly stop by and say hello! 😀 5y
GondorGirl @Bookwomble Okay. So. Imagine if a Brit who has never been to America decided to hold a Wild West festival. 😂 In all seriousness though, they ate sometimes renaissance, sometimes medieval, sometimes fantasy themed. There is usually very little actual history involved. Mostly, people wear costumes, watch themed performers, and drink overpriced mead. As a leatherworker they're where my money for the year is. 5y

GondorGirl @Branwen Awesome! I always love to meet other littens! We're down between the Mother Oak stage and the Washing Well Wenches. 5y
Bookwomble @GondorGirl Ok, no history per se, rather a fun excuse to dress up, eat drink and be merry! 😊👍🏻 5y
BethM @Bookwomble I think it depends where though. My state‘s ren faire incorporates a fair bit of history and is set in 1574 Elizabethan England. 5y
GondorGirl @BethM That's true. I've worked at some historically minded faires. I actually enjoy those a lot more. Most anymore seem to be less about history, more about making loads of money. 5y
