Lesson 4: Purse / Hat

Our Day at Middlefaire

Middlefaire was a lot of fun. It's a small festival, but it has a lot of charm. There is a tavern with great music and FREE BEER. I guess they don't have a liquar licence. There's also plenty of little shops and a whole days worth of intertaining shows.

My sister and I are posing here with a couple of nice gentleman we met at the fair. We are both wearing chemises that we made ourselves with waist cinches like we made in lesson three. I also added a gathered shirt from lesson two to give my outfit a little more color.

I didn't catch this guys name, but he is part of the fire show that they put on when the sun goes down. This is a sneak preview they gave us earlier in the day.

This weekend was apparently pirate weekend so there was lots of great pirate costumes on parade.



Since Middlefaire is a relatively small festival you really get a better chance to meet and talk to people. Kind of like how everyone in a small town knows each other. This is Wanda and she and her husband sell wooden swords and shields at different festivals. She also gave us some good costume tips.

Even though it rained most of the day, we still had fun taking refuge in the different shops. Here we are listing to some pirate poetry from a gentleman who goes by Blackbead. He has a book coming out called "Raising the Black Flag"
