The only time I got to go was on a miserably cold drizzly day, so my carefully planned costume got covered in mud (probably quite period-correct, actually) and I caved in and just put on a big raincoat. Will definitely have to try again. I love any place where you can be an Elizabethan wench, a biker fairy, the Mad Hatter with Mata Hari fingernails, a fantastical tribalist with a handmade fur totem companion, or all of the above!! You and Carrie look lovely! And I love your portrait with the King; I assume you!re both holding your stomachs after having had similar lunches (his probably way more voluminous than yours, but then it looks like he's used to it).Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12064986881712695905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-15086194656710323532015-10-16T10:35:11.814-04:002015-10-16T10:35:11.814-04:00My Queen with another King?

How fun to have a variety of experiences on the road and to revisit an event that holds so much meaning for you -- one of the many things we love about this lifestyle.

Thank you for sharing all the great photos of the fun and fabulous court and attendees. Purchased my robe from a small faire in the mountains, and my besom at the larger one. There are usually such tempting offerings :-) Love Loreena so imagine I would enjoy this group - will have to look for a CD! So glad you and Carrie had this special day to enjoy together :-)))))Jodee Gravelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02247098923871155546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-67643983835544223622015-10-11T15:33:40.135-04:002015-10-11T15:33:40.135-04:00Oh, that looks like so much fun, and you and Carri...Oh, that looks like so much fun, and you and Carrie are adorable! What a wonderful mother/daughter tradition. My niece turned me on to the Outlander TV show. I've watched about half of the first season and love it. Good luck to the guy who thinks he looks like Jamie Frasier. The guy playing that part is truly hot. ;-) Thank you for sharing!Pam Sprousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08911993909677818986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-43528862227923165352015-10-11T15:32:24.641-04:002015-10-11T15:32:24.641-04:00I have never been to such a Fire.

Never been to one of these, but judging from the fun you and Carrie had (not to mention your cute costumes) it was worth the drive on the evil beltway to get there.

You and Carrie look so happy and delightful, you especially with the King. ;) I don't know about the Outlander, or Lip Prints either, but could that be a shield the yeoman is carrying?

About the only connection I have with them is that I spent many years playing the recorder in a Baroque/Renaissance group.
