    These are just some of the things that we've collected, to help us with our Costumes, to turn a fair day into, a "Faire Day"! :^D
    I've been going to the Northern California Renaissance Pleasure Faire since 1974. When I first went, it was in Novato, California, for many years, at the Black Point Forest, and our two sons were born and raised, so to speak, into Faire there! After that, in the late 1990's it was held at The Nut Tree, in Vacaville, California, for three years, and has since been at Casa de Fruta, in Hollister, California, which is the farthest at 100miles, more than twice the distance, that the other two were.
    We have always gone in Costume, as Middle Class Peasants, mainly because it's easy to change our Costumes, by adding, or subtracting items, depending on the weather, or mood, and we don't have to match, like Upper Class, or Royalty do, besides it's cheaper and more comfortable! :^D I say Middle Class, because we all have shoes, and some jewelry, a peasant, would rarely have either.
    In the pictures you'll see Pewter Mugs, and Goblets, and Goblets of Pottery too. Our Costume Jewelry, is made of Silver, Bronze, Pewter, Pottery, Leather, Bone, and String, and has Semi-precious stones, and glass too. There are Muffin Hats, made of cotton, and Velvet, and Straw Hats too, some are adorned with Feathers, or Straw Flowers. There's Leather Bags, or Pouches, and Papier Mache Masks. The Map of the Faire in Black Point Forest, is from the 12th year in 1984, and the Gate Passes, also for the Black Point Faire, are dated from 1979-1984, and I found them at the Flea Market, and had to get them! The larger Pewter Mug with Winged Dragon, was the first that I bought at the Faire in 1987 or so, and the Hippie Necklace, of braided string with Carved Bone, a small Opal in a Silver art piece, with glass beads, was a Thrift Store find in the late 1970s, or early 1980, that I've treasured ever since! :^D
    This is just a small selection of the many things that we use to make a fair day, into a Faire Day!

    Thank you for looking all comments, and questions are welcome! :^)

      Yeah keramikos, my older son has a half-sleeve tattoo, with the Ren-Faire Sun, Sir Francis Drake, Queen Elizabeth, and Jousting Knights, on his left arm shoulder, and a Dragon on his right arm shoulder, that goes around his back. A life-long tribute to the Faire that he was raised enjoying every year! :^)
