PARF! The Faire...
Last weekend was a blur of activity... friends, beer, music, shows... a very colorful exploration of PARF! We went last year as well, but it was kinda overcast and empty so we spent that visit acquainting ourselves with the layout and vendors. This time around we got to experience the real swing of things!

Farewell, Pig...
I have had Pig the owl for longer than intended now, and it is time to let him stretch his little wings and fly home! Of course, he will be bringing Squeebie a couple gifts from PARF and other places he's visited while staying with me! As a farewell, this post of his visage is in order!
To see more and to keep an eye on all of Pig's future adventures, check out his Flickr Group! He's pretty famous.
Happy Wednesday!
Tomorrow and Friday are all roadtrip Photobombs, so get ready!

PS- Picasa is STILL crashing on me, so please bear with my long posts of photos that go on forever until I can resolve the issue!

Our Hectic and Awesome Weekend: Sneak Peek!
This past weekend was pretty busy! We woke up early on Saturday, drove to PA, attended PARF, stayed the night, and drove back on Sunday hitting up a couple vineyards on the way! Here's a sneak peek in Instagram photos for you...
I'm going to be honest here... the next few weeks may be kinda lame on my blog. The new semester is starting up, and as I work at a college library, it's our busy time. Also, since my home internet is practically non-existant, I won't have a lot of time at work to spend doing my own thing online...
Hopefully you'll all stick with me through it and I promise to reward you with lots of fun photos!

Preparation for Fun
This coming weekend, Bear and I are attending the PA Renaissance Festival, known as PARF for short, with Patchie and her Boy, along with a few other friends! I'm pretty stoked to tote along Pig, the post owl, and photograph more of his adventures!
Here's the thing; Ren Fest is a BIG deal among out circle of friends. We went last year as often as possible, and had a blast! Patchie has worked the MDRF, as have other of our friends, and every year we make a new talented artisan friend there... or twelve. Ha. My friends probably own more garb than normal clothes, and everywhere they go they look for something they can utilize in their next RF outfit.
I'm a little outside this bracket; I own a red skirt I bought from Walmart in the late 1990's, some other maxi skirts from thrift stores, a few corsets, a leather top I love, some suede boots from a Payless sale, one jester costume I made for a skit in high school, and a million stripey socks I pretend are a good outfit choice. My garb section in our closet is significantly smaller than Bear's, with the exception of my belt collection which he has mostly stolen anyway. I DO have a super sweet leather mug with the Tree of Life on it that I adore, though. :)
Anyway, this prep time is always the part I dread the most. While everyone else is sifting through piles of garb and gear, I am filing through all my clothes trying to find anything that will work for faire. I have to be pretty creative to get together a worthy outfit that looks period, but mostly came from thrift stores and Target. I LOVE a ton of the stuff I see at faire, but honestly, I can't justify buying $100+ pieces to make an outfit I'll only wear a couple of times a year. It's different if you work there and have to dress period every day, but for a casual appearance like I make, it's just insane. Plus, it would really cut in on my camera and lenses budget. Ha!
Anyway, that is where we are right now. On Saturday, I will be at PARF with a ton of spiffy, well dressed individuals, shooting a billion photos! If you are in the area and plan on attending, holler if you see me! I'll take your picture!
Keep tuned for tomorrow's Photobomb... all about going to Medieval Times on an invite from Patchie's faire wench friend, Pixie and her Beaux. Ah, yes. More code names. :)
