Renaissance Pleasure Faire
This weekend we were at the Renaissance Pleasure Faire in Irwindale, California to enjoy the nice weather and have some fun. Artisans, guilds, and troupes all gathered in this realm of merriment to show off their skills and to just have a good time. The entertainment and music made the the mood and atmosphere even more lively.
Linen was in abundance, whether it was worn as an element of a beautifully assembled attire or being utilized for practical purposes. There were fabrics blowing in the breeze in vibrant colors and shades. People all around were outfitted in garbs of all styles that were created with the same versatile fabric.
We interviewed some amazing people at the faire, so we have plenty more to share of our experience at the Renaissance Pleasure Faire. More photos of our fun day are on the way. We would also love to know if anyone went to the Faire recently, and what you enjoyed most about it. Don’t forget to tell us what you wore!
