A Dickens Adventure!

It was a grand time at the Dickens Fair, I just wish I could have stayed longer! :-)

When I get the pictures from Steph and Katey I'll have to add them into the slideshow (not that I'm playing with embedded media features or anything... no I'd never do that!)

But there was so much fun stuff going on, dancing at Fezziwigs, running into friends and loved ones, yummy food that you only find at the Fairs, lots and lots of pretty things that I'd love to own. I did treat myself to two things, one getting my hair braided all fancy like, and two a pretty little cross pendant. The hair-braiding was very relaxing, and it looked so cute I wish I could have kept it in longer, or had the talent to do that to myself. The cross is a Celtic design, with a round cut alexandrite (or just a light purple crystal... it wasn't that expensive so it's hard to tell... ) in the center. So it's a very Tina looking piece and I almost didn't get it, but ended up running back to the booth to pick it up.

I realized that I need to invest in a crinoline or a hoop skirt, because I can fake Victorian with my current wardrobe pretty well, except that my skirts aren't nearly full enough. And depending on time and finances I want to start working on a nice ballgown to use for Fezziwigs and Gaskells. Although I should really finish the other projects I have first before starting another one. :-)

But regardless, I look forward to next years Dickens trip!
