Over the knee socks are a must-have part of your renaissance costume or reenactor kit, and ours are made for years of wear with proper care. This means wash cool and dry gently. Don’t wear them more than once before cleaning. Be good to your renfaire socks and they will be good to you.

Good quality over the knee OTK socks for faire are not easy to find, I know. Made in the USA of 100% recycled cotton with a tad of lycra at the top to keep them from tumbling down. I buy these in bulk from my pal Jimmy in North Carolina. Its a family business with his son. He and I have been working together for over a decade, and I have checked out other suppliers. Nobody is as consistent and trustworthy. The. Best. Period.

The December List

by

drafting tools and a patternHello! I’d like to remind about the December List. You may have heard about it for special orders at Faire Ladies, Faire Lords shop this faire season. Every year it seems I’ve got more special orders incoming. I can’t help it, I really enjoy the work and knowing that my customers are getting something they want specifically makes me happy. What I’m doing is corralling all the work into a set block of time to keep me from derailing my studio production schedule. And, one of those blocks of time is the December List.

Every fall, I take orders for a limited time of things to make for my customers. The list closes on December 1, or earlier if its already full. So, you’d like to have a special something made – for instance this ruffled collar and cuff shirt. You know I don’t carry that in my regular inventory. You need this item before Southern Faire in the spring? Now is the time! Do not wait, place an order online and/or email me to get on the list. Easy Peasy!

There is a deposit/payment of course. I do the work starting in December (hence the name) and generally finish by the first of the year. Sometimes longer if its a complex item or group of items.

Please share this information with your guild mates and friends? If you wait, you will be without. I don’t want that, you don’t want that. Lets not let that happen. 🙂

Something to also think about: good quality socks for faire. And socks that fit a wide calf. I cannot sell them at faire, but you can order them from my website. Meanwhile, you can find me in my booth at the Northern California Renaissance Faire, here via email, on Facebook, and more blog posts too.

Fall Renaissance Faire in Northern California

by

Its time, its time! The fall renaissance faire in Northern California is about to begin at Casa de Fruta! The booth is built, fixtures are in place, and the only things still to prepare are the last minute details. Faire Ladies, Faire Lords is ready. Faire Ladies, Faire Lord shop

This year like most years, I have a few changes and also returning rockstars. A new booth worker Anda. She’s a lovely lass and so very smart too. Ezekiel is back in the booth working Saturdays only, because Sunday is for Rocket Science. And, at long last my dear Sweet Patrick is coming to faire to assist with all the merchandising and load in/load outs and I couldn’t be happier!

There are kid’s shirts and pants added to the line. Also planned (but cannot promise) are Irish Dresses for young girls. I’m bringing a batch of plaid Irish Dresses (kirtles) to faire, and there are new colors in almost all the regular inventory from skirts to breeches to doublets and a small selection of bodices too.

Der Baron und Mein SitskaThe one thing I am not allowed to sell at faire are OVER THE KNEE SOCKS. Which is difficult for the customers and participants who need good quality socks for faire. And doubly difficult for customers who need socks that fit a wide calf. I can however, sell them on my website and will ship and/or deliver in hand if we happen to meet up. Like at a faire. Use a coupon code PICKUP and its should erase the shipping charges from your order. If its wonky, I can refund you, just write a note with your order. Let’s make sure you get the socks you deserve!!!

Its the end of summer and I’ll be at the fall Northern California Renaissance Faire every weekend starting September 16th, on Clothier’s Row. Look for the red/yellow striped roof and my RenLady logo signage. Meantime, you can find me here via email, on Facebook, and more blog posts.
