Every year my friends Ellen and Robin (and Robin's kids Sophie and Nate, my goddess children) and I go to the Faerie Festival, about 50 minutes from my house, and five minutes from Robin's. This year Robin's friend Nichole and her four kids joined us, and we had a grand time, despite the insane mid-90's heat and high humidity. Although we did retreat back to Robin's house for a nice BBQ and eating inside the AC...
Here are a few pictures from the event, which is a little bit like a Renaissance Faire with more goblins and trolls...

| Robin and Nichole and the kids (the troll wasn't ours) |

| So many cute dogs! Ellen always makes new friends. |

| Robin and Nate |

| It was so hot, the hair was up. Me and Nate, looking mildly overheated but happy. |

| The Faerie Queen, leading the processional. |
 |
| I loved the tee shirt Sophie put on when we got home. |
 |
| What's a faire without goodies? A new oracle deck (bought from the illustrator, a fellow Llewellyn person) and a cool Matrushka key chain that made me think of the Baba Yagas) |
 |
| One of the artists did all these cool acorn people! Of course I got the one who was reading a book. |
I'm already looking forward to next year. And hoping it is a little cooler...
Looks like a fun gathering! I'm surprised that the dog tolerates wearing the wings.I would think that it would be irksome!
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing you and I absolutely love that you picked the reader acorn. I picked that one up a couple times but never convinced myself to commit. It got the right home with you!
