Here in the Mid-Atlantic area when you've got those late summer blues and the magic of the holidays is still a long way off, the Maryland & Virginia Renaissance Faires are something to get excited about. Now I've never been to either one but I'm contemplating the possibility of going this year. I guess my reluctance to attend in the past has been that I've lived in Europe and I've seen beautiful castles. So why go to a fair that celebrates the Renaissance? I think this is the year to go and get some inspiration. Maybe eat a turkey leg and watch some Jousting? To celebrate the Renaissance Spirit I've designed my Dragon Collection. I'm a romantic at heart and tales of dragons and castles have always intrigued and excited me.
My friend Nikki, @ www.bastilleblue.etsy.com or www.bastillebleu.artfire.com created the lampwork beads for this collection! I know I'm buying quality when I buy from her Etsy or Artfire Shop!
