I've told you a little about Hardwick Hall before, so I won't repeat myself, but I did think you might like to see some pictures from a recent Elizabethan weekend there.
With extra special thanks to my husband for taking most of these pictures!
Stalls included the barber-surgeon, who had a pet leech and talked at length about some of the more grusome aspects of Elizabethan life:
Minstrels, playing some rather droning music:
A lady making braids for belts:
A bow-maker, busy fletching (is that a verb?):
Someone cooking over an open fire:
And even a tavern:

Oh, I love Renaissance Faires! It such fun dressing up and pretending to be in another time. My husband used to be a major chracter in our local Faire, he's got tons of swords and authentic costumes that I'm urging him to use for Halloween!
What gorgeous costumes!
Oh, I would love to see this. That belt braiding looks beautiful and useful for today, somehow.
