We went to the Renaissance Pleasure Faire yesterday-- not exactly for Mother's Day, but as it was certainly my idea of a good time, it was fine with me! I took a little "class" in blackwork embroidery this year, while Julia was doing a mask-painting one. I didn't have the camera with me the whole time, as David and Laura went off on their own while Julia and I were at the "Queen's College", so some of these photos are from last year.
I meant to sew myself a costume for this year -- had even bought a copy of The Tudor Tailor in preparation -- but alas, that was not to be. But my ambitions, although modest, are inspired yet again by the lovely costumes, from commoner to nobility, that you see every few yards.
