I know, every year I say I'm going to dress up and then I don't. I think one thing that holds us back from dressing up is that it is pretty hot in August. I'm usually grateful to be wearing shorts as I look around at all the women in their heavy, historically accurate dresses!<br /><br />I would love to see your Ren Faire photos! The fairy/garden gnome combination sounds adorable. :) A garden gnome is one of the cutest baby/little kid costumes in my opinion. Although, I always enjoy seeing an adult man dressed as a garden gnome too. As you saw in this post, I managed to spot one of those at this year's faire.Justine’s Halloweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036212957533234176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-4612169323019060832016-10-17T16:22:37.157-05:002016-10-17T16:22:37.157-05:00Great Ren post!

I say that because she was standing in the one area of the Ren Faire that seems really accurate, in the way people dress, speak, interact, etc. I looked up Renaissance symbols online, and so far I've mostly been seeing alchemy symbols. Those are interesting in their own way, but not close enough to this.Justine’s Halloweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036212957533234176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-88315393766047747092016-09-20T02:11:07.765-05:002016-09-20T02:11:07.765-05:00As far as that emblem on m'lady's collar.....As far as that emblem on m'lady's collar...

I did run across some more fans of his, though. He's a funny guy. I wouldn't be surprised if he does some stand-up when he isn't working at the Ren Faire.

Oh yeah, it's an experience in ...Matt ~ Thanks! Oh yeah, it's an experience in person. It's always fun for me to look back at the photos throughout the year. Ha! Yes, we do cut loose during summer! It's those insane winter months. When Wisconsinites finally get some warm weather, we know how to make the most of it. I remember meeting someone who had just moved here and was having her first Wisconsin winter. She said to me "Now I get why you guys are so busy in summer!" She happened to move here during one of our worst blizzards too.<br /><br />Yeah, I look at the Faire as a precursor to Halloween too. And sometimes, like with that lady's autumn leaf headband, I get inspired to try some costume ideas for Halloween. No, I couldn't resist the pirate hat! :) I love a good pirate hat. That's one of the most fun costumes out there in my opinion. <br /><br />Oh! Haha! You know, I'd wondered if there weren't a few beers involved in that email. ;) I was waiting to think of some witty response to the possum names but never could come up with one. But no, it wasn't too weird. It just seemed like the kind of name ideas that might come with some beer. :) Irving? There's an Irving? I don't even remember that one.<br /><br />Oh, yeah. I'm safe, thanks. Luckily for me I'm not living in that area. I feel bad for the people who are. Things have been heating up, literally come to think of it. There were some bad fires set. But it sounds like you've seen the news. I know the National Guard is here. So I guess they're prepared. I'm hoping the energy will somehow calm down soon.Justine’s Halloweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036212957533234176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-11977126973125976022016-08-15T14:05:45.536-05:002016-08-15T14:05:45.536-05:00Lady M ~ You're right!

Good job! :) Looks like Pokemon is back in style with that new Pokemon GO game. The other day I was in our sort of main street area and was the only one not on the phone. People were wandering past me just staring down, playing Pokemon GO. I found out later that the local library had some sort of event going, or Pokemon stop. It's eerie to be the only one not staring at a phone! It felt like I was in a zombie movie. Anyway, it must be quite the game because people are really into it now. Thanks for solving that mystery for me!<br /><br />You've been to our Bristol Faire on the Wisconsin/Illinois border? Have we talked about this before? I'd love to see some of your Faire photos!Justine’s Halloweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036212957533234176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-82820799727920863552016-08-15T09:37:29.911-05:002016-08-15T09:37:29.911-05:00There"s a lot to like here.

A lot of work went into these costumes - a great precursor to Halloween. You couldn't resist the pirate hat could you - good picture. I'd been drinking when I sent my last email - hope it wasn't too weird. Me and the possum kiddies are doing fine (Irving says hi.) Hope you're surviving the riots - be safe.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12113184140276416114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795347148428519606.post-86745200131171236452016-08-14T20:15:40.477-05:002016-08-14T20:15:40.477-05:00I think that dinosaur head dress is a pokemon'...I think that dinosaur head dress is a pokemon' named Cuebone.
