A Moment of Reflection

Cancer.  The word just sends a chill right through me.  I don’t know anyone, anyone at all, whose life hasn’t been affected in one way or another.  And although I myself have been fortunate enough not to be impacted in my immediate family, it has hit that next ring of in-laws and cousins, as well as the rings of close friends and of neighbors.  That’s why it was so important to me to join forces with Strides Against Cancer and lend my small blogging efforts (not to mention my personal lindens) to the SL Renaissance Festival in its efforts to raise $10,000 USD for the cause…  after the first 2 days, more than $1,000,000L — that’s $4,000 USD — had already been raised.  Won’t you join me at the festival and lend your support? Nothing, and I mean NOTHING beats shopping for a cause!  Full details on special events and all that shopping with a cause can be found at SL Renaissance Festival.  Hope to see you there!  (I’ll be the happy fae on my knight’s arm, taking in all the delights!)

Pick Your Poison

One of the many things I’m discovering that I love about the Renaissance Festival (which is currently running through October 3rd) is how it’s making me really think about what life might have been really like back in medieval times.  I’ve read some historical fiction that’s placed in that era, but the Festival brings it home in a very different and somehow more personal way… shopping the fashions to wear… looking at furnishings for my home… watching jousting and sword fights and archery for entertainment.  Today I’m channeling my inner Lucrezia Borgia, searching through my “medicine” cabinet, selecting my poison with great care, keeping in mind that “back in the day,” the line between medicine and poison was extremely blurry.  It’s how women were often accused of being witches because of their knowledge of herbs and other things, which could often help, but could also cause great damage, intentional or otherwise!  Whether or not you roleplay medieval, the Renaissance Festival is an awesome glimpse into another life, another time… just like it is IRL!!!  Don’t miss it… it only comes once a year!!!!  Details about all the events and activities and entertainment and, of course, shopping directories and slurls, can be found HERE.

  • Cabinet:  Fantavatar & Moonstruck – Antique Poisons Cabinet.  Belladonna, arsenic, it’s all there, in this very special piece of medieval home decor for those with that special taste.  Original mesh with scripted doors that open & close.  And of course, the detail is exquisite! 
  • Candelabra:  Swank & Co. –  Gothic Iron Floor Candelabra.  Incredible detail, incredibly realistic. Perfect for any medieval or gothic setting. Brand new EXCLUSIVE, only available at the SL Renaissance Festival 2021, in Ren Fest IV Shopping, now through Oct 3rd.  Direct TP to market booth HERE.  Available in two versions, both of which are a 100% donation to Strides Against Cancer, benefitting the American Cancer Society.
  • Shield:  Ever Green – Tavern Wall Shield.  Menu driven, choose from 4 different shields & 4 different banner colors, with easy resize built in.  Every medieval home or business needs one!  Another brand new EXCLUSIVE that’s a 100% donation to fight breast cancer at the SL Renaissance Festival!  Direct TP to their market booth  HERE also in Ren Fest IV Shopping. 

Don’t fret, the Renaissance Festival will be open soon!

Hear ye, hear ye!!! I’m all a-flutter!  I’ve officially joined the blogging team for the SL Renaissance Festival 2021, which opens today Sept 24th.  That means I’ve been thinking medieval and waiting for what seems like forever!!!!  This is only the second year for this now annual event, which has at its heart raising much needed support and funds for the fight against breast cancer.  Anyone who follows this blog knows that both my human counterpart and I do whatever we can, whenever we can, to help support this worthy cause.  I mean, come on, what’s better than shopping with a purpose?  And the Ren Fest combines that most worthy of causes with anything and everything medieval!!!!  For a fae like myself, that’s way WAY up there on the list of favorite things!  Hoozah!!! The festival is open from Sept 24th through Oct 3rd, and is filled with fabulous shopping, entertainment, special events, and yes, tournaments!!!  Read all about it @ https://slrenaissancefestival.com/ …  the pic above was taken at one of the Travelers Camps where they are already preparing to welcome festival guests once the gates have opened, and soon it will be filled with the hubbub of merchants, royalty, peasants, warriors, horses, and more.  I’m impatiently stalking the gates waiting for the official opening…  Hope to see you there!
