My FIRST (semi active) Renaissance Faire..

This weekend I participated in a Renaissance Faire! Yeah. You read that I right. I didn't just attend like I always do I participated! (Well sort of.) I basically begged a Guild to let me tag along with them AND I got to borrow a beautifully made dress from the Guild's Co-Costume Mistress and wear it all weekend! I made my own undergarments - which need to be reworked but that's fine! It was a learning experience for sure! I learned how to navigate using the restroom in a hoop skirt! And it wasn't that hard at all! I got to walk around with Lady Lettice and her sisters! I even got to attend Queen Elizabeth as she watched several sword fights. Sure it was a lot of standing around in horrible shoes that haven't been broken in yet. (The tops of my feet hurt so bad!) Sure I was literally sweating the entire day in places I didn't know I could sweat before... BUT.. IT. WAS. SO. MUCH. FUN!!  And I can totally see me having more fun the more involved and active I get - meaning having a tiny part to play would be WONDERFUL!! Having my shoes broken in where I could learn a dance with the other ladies of court... just tot name a few. I'd love to have Bea and Millie join me too! I can't wait for next fair.... maybe I'll be able to finish a gown by then....
