Random Pirate show...pirates in the renaissance?

Unicorn...just have to say that, right?


We went to the Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival yesterday. As usual, I forgot my camera. Of course, I was also planning, organizing and making sure everyone was getting ready, but luckily the engineer remembered his. So here are some images from the fun!

I love RenFaires! They are so much fun. I wish I'd found them when I was younger so I could dress the part without looking too stupid. We are going next weekend to the one over on the other side of the state.

Looks fantastic - and as if you had some fun! We have medieval fairs here in the summer too and I love them!!
I remember the first time I saw members of The Society for Creative Anachronism, all dressed up in a county park, playing their roles. Believe it was well before the birth of the Renaissance Fairs, but maybe not. What a hoot.

The Tacky Earring Blog Hop

Diana Ptaszynski had a great idea, instead of a Tacky Christmas Sweater blog hop, a Tacky Holiday Earring blog hop! I was on it.  I had ideas right away.  I had so many I had to control myself.  You can buy these for $15 each, too!  Here we go! I found these awesome wreaths in the miniature Christmas section in Michaels, and they go perfectly with silver and copper colored plastic beads! These trees were found in Michaels, on an end-cap - I assume they are scrapbook or card making supplies, but make fantastic earrings.  The holes were a little small and far down, so I had to make LARGE loops.  Paired these with cute little gold colored jingle bells! And, finally, the ones I had in my head the moment she announced the blog hop.  Dr. Seuss sparkly puff balls with ribbons.  The only thing that would have made these better for me is if I could have found the red ribbons I really wanted to pair these with - don't get me wrong, the silver is cool and all, but in my head they w
