In the wake of my recent blog in which I share my love for Renaissance festivals, I post some pictures my awesome husband took at the Carolina Renaissance Festival on Saturday, October 17.

 The entranceway. We got there just five minutes before the gate opened.

Here I am in my blue gown (courtesy of Holy Clothing.org) and cape (sadly can’t recall where I bought that).

My husband, Matt, poses with a Renaissance stone angel. Don’t blink!

A poster for Hey Nunnie Nunnie, a favorite act of ours.

Here I am with Zilch the Torysteller, master of Spoonerisms.

Ima Nutt, the female half of Fool Hearty, introduces me to the youngest member of her and her husband’s dog family, Prince Peanut the long-haired Chihuahua.

Ima and her husband Marquis juggle in their first show. We would return later for the Untrained Dog Show.

And this is the Untrained Dog show. The gorgeous creature in the middle is Wingnut, who is so smart that she can get her own treats from the bubblegum-machine style treat dispenser.

Here is PolkaDot, the third member of the doggie troupe, dancing with her daddy Marquis.

Dancers and musicians welcome visitors in a tent just inside the Fair.
