Faire-well

Yesterday, I went to the Renaissance Festival with [livejournal.com profile] stormsongk and [livejournal.com profile] enemyfrigate.
Arrived first thing in the morning and stayed until after dark. 

It was the last day of faire - Day of Wrong.

We saw all sorts of fairegoers in costume - a Star Wars stormtrooper in a kilt, a couple of furries braving the mud, a load of comic book superheroes-gone-Rennie, the dread pirate Roberts (with an R.O.U.S.), Sweeney Todd and Mrs Lovett, Captain Jack Harkness, Captain Jack Sparrow, the 4th and 5th Doctors, Elvis, and Captain Hammer and Dr Horrible.

Storm was dressed as the Mad Hatter.
He ran into the March Hare and Alice.

The trees were gorgeous - all greens, golds, and oranges.
The light was amazing. 

Sunset was beautiful as well. 
And after the sun went down, it was magic time.

Fairegoers brought out candles, lanterns, and torches and gathered at the taverns for singing.
I even sang along with the final song:

"Fhear a bhàta, na hóro eil'e
Oh, fare thee well, love, where e're ye be..."


I also bought a new overdress that I truly love.
It's moss green floral satin and the colour shifts with the light.
I'm planning to wear it to FaerieCon in two weeks.
