Going to Northern CA Renaissance Faire

by

Its that time again, time to get going to Northern CA Renaissance Faire in Hollister, CA! The faire opens on September 14th and runs weekends through October 20th. There are coupons available online NOW at https://norcalrenfaire.com/ and all sales are via the website, so plan ahead and get your tickets before you go. Yes, it has sold out before and I don’t want that to happen to YOU.

Variety is necessary to living well, and I have some returning styles from years past. For the ladies, I have brought back an over-partlette like the picture on the left. For the lords, a sleeveless jerkin SORTA KINDA LIKE THE ONE HERE ON THE RIGHT. These items are not on my website, the faire is where you can see them.

Of course I am bringing all the standard styles for women, men, and children that I create. Overdresses, bodices, shirts and breeches, bloomers, caps, hats, bonnets and more items than I can list. All in linen, and in new colors. Its a lot! Did I mention childrenswear? Little shirts, chemises, dresses, and pants. Good stuff.

It will remove all shipping and handling charges and direct me to pull the product and bring it to faire where you can pick it up. This applies to any piece in my website shop – especially handy for items that are not sold at faire like Socks and these pockets and these bodices. Yes, buy them online and I can have you pick them up from the booth.

That’s all for now. Its always my pleasure to share these fun things with you. Please share this with your friends and family, your guild mates, your cosplay people. And as always if you need help or just want to get in touch, I’m on Facebook and you can email me here.

Renaissance faire season, product updates, and website things too..

How is your renaissance faire season coming along? On the West Coast and throughout much of the US, there is a definite season from Spring through Fall. And for most of us in the States, faires and festivals are opening all over. Some folks are racing out the door, so happy to be in public again and some folks are sitting back, waiting to see what happens. Either way, these are heady times for sure. I personally am eager to attend Northern California Renaissance Faire this coming fall. Like really really eager. I’m already drinking my water to get ready for the heat! I am pestering the vendor coordinator. EAGER.

Another Renaissance Festival I participate at is going online this year. I’ve written about it recently, you should dig a bit further back into my blog posts and read up on it. Koroneburg Online, heck ya! I’m all ready all ready. Well, I’ve done my prep and am keeping a weather eye on the proceedings.

Product updates

I am getting my inventory plumped up at last. The latest and greatest on my website for this renaissance faire season are these faboo(tm) Linen Bodices in camel. If you’ve ever been to a renfaire in high heat, this is the bodice you probably should have worn. Breathable, strong and with a bit of give for a softer silhouette than a thick heavy bodice. I’ve engineered it to strengthen the wear areas and I think its a winner. You will too, it makes a huge difference.

Website things

This is a bit technical. So, I’ve been fighting a battle with Facebook and losing. It seems that my websites of all the bazillion of them on this planet are the only ones that cannot generate an accurate link preview. This has been going on a while, and it was mildly irritating before. Now I’m *very* irritated and done with the workarounds. So I have enlisted the help of a Web Developer to figure this shit out. He’s doing, things. Fingers crossed we reach some kind of stasis soon, yes? So, don’t be alarmed if pages are different shapes and images change. Its gonna be okay.
