shinelumiereWe had fun, but as any day spent at a theme park or fair, you come home exhausted. Unfortunatly while we al had our phones and they all have cameras on them, we all forgot our real camera's, so not alot of photos got taken, and those that did are scattered across multiple phones, so not much to post photo wise.
One of the shops we stopped in sells wooden swords and sheilds, even some that the kids can color themselves, and this of course was loved by all three of the kids in our group. My youngest nephew Linus told his mother that he wanted to come back to the fair so that he could get a sheild, since he was only allowed to pick one or the other this trip. He'll have to wait till next year for that XD.
As much as I love anime and manga, I am also a bit of a geek about the rennisance era. if we'd have been able to sit and watch some of the shows at the black smith stand or the glass blowing stand, I think I would have died of glee. I could also burn alot of my money there, as I tried to do this trip. I got two of the people off my christmas list, and I'd show the items off, but they read my journal, so no can do. I can show off my stuff though.
I got myself this necklace.
It's a "fairy dust" necklace. it's hard to see the detailing of the fairy in the picture, since the metal reflects alot of the light from the flash, but in person its gorgeous. There's a flower garland decoration on the back of the metal caging that encases the bottle of fairy dustand of course I picked the purple one. I've seen similar neclaces other places, but this one was surprisingly cheaper that those, and I didn't have to pay for shipping on top of the price. The stand where I got this also had gypsi belts, which I thought about really hard, but they weren't long enough to fit on my hips, and for $27 I'm not buying something I have to doctor to fit.
As well as a new lip balm, cause when we passed the beeswax shop that had lip balm listed on the sign, everyone knew I had to go in and look ;)
I had a glass of Sangria, it wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either. I got to keep my glass
I look forward to going back next year, and hope to add on to my outfit in the meantime ;)
Patches continues to grow, explore and amuse.
He's developed this habit of laying just outside the edge of my chair mat and turning his pur up to full blast. Conveniently just out of reach of the chair when I roll back, aaaaand just out of easy reach of me to pick him up for a cuddle XD.
A fact that seems to amuse him...
