King Richard's Faire, Part 2


These handpainted velvet capes were just to die for, but neither having the money for, nor a place to wear one, all I could do was admire from afar.


What is that?  A tribble?  I was too afraid to touch it and find out!

We sat down here for a minute, not realizing a show was about to start!

Looking back at the capes.

Daniel, Duke of Danger, was highly entertaining!!  He was very funny and very acrobatic.


Balancing on top of a ladder, while spinning 6 rings with his arms and holding a spinning plate in his mouth.

WOW!  Yes, there was liquid in the mug on his head.



Every hour or so, they have a parade of the King & Queen, and vendors, through the grounds.

That tall purple headed thing was in the Bourne July 4th parade.


It's hard to tell, but there's a wee horn on the front of the pony's head.  Sweet little 'unicorn'.

That dress is so me.






My new pal.

I. Want. This. Window.  NOW!

King Richard's Faire, Part 1

King Richard's Faire in Carver opened over Labor Day weekend, and runs on the weekends, through mid-October.  We went on the 3rd weekend.  Once again, I had to sign a waiver saying I wouldn't profit from my photos.  *rolls eyes*  Some of the vendors are also really, really snotty about having pics take of their wares, so I had to sneak a ton of shots.  










Loved this old circle on the ground.


Despite the weather forecast of only 30% chance of rain, it poured for the first 20 minutes or so when we first arrived.  But that didn't deter my sweetie from trying his hand at a few games like the dart throw....

...and axe toss.

Four out of four, perfectly grouped!  I was impressed!!

The obligatory 'Man and His Turkey Leg: It's a Beautiful Thing" picture.




The weather finally started to clear up and we drifted around, people watching and window shopping.



Awwww poor baby!!!!
