Earlier this month, my boyfriend, Nathan, and I went to the 2009 Washington Renaissance Fantasy Faire. It was the first time I'd been to a Renaissance Fair, and I had a very good time there. This year, the fair was held at Maris Farms in Buckley, WA. Here are some of the photos from that day.

The castle gates.
Some fair-goers in front of the food stands where we ate sausages, fries, and Hawaiian ices.
There were many performers. We watched a joust and heard some of the music. There was also an opportunity for those wanting to learn a little about the fine art of fencing. I snapped a photo of a couple of the fencers above.
Then, I snapped a photo of my own knight, Sir Nathan.
The Blue Fairy was one of the many wandering performers at the fair. I saw her several times.
There were a lot of people in costumes and even some of the pets. I wonder if this doggy breathes fire? 
There were many things to see and to buy. A couple of those things were ribbon and flower wreaths and flower wands.
Nathan took this picture of me with my new wand and my purple flower wreath.
More wonderful things to buy or just to look at: fans, lamps, belts, peacock feathers, a quiver of arrows, beautiful dresses, suits of armor, shields and weapons, just to name a few.
It was a wonderful day, but, alas, all too soon it was time to go.
Until I type again,
