Representative pile of UFOs (UnFinished Objects!) for Marketplace Weekend. All handmade. By me.

Praying for sunny but not-too-hot days and good attendance to compensate for the necessary, but disappointing, weather-related closure last weekend.

Today's poor air quality is a double-edged sword. While I am busy today producing amazing new inventory for the shop, the loss of income for me and other workers is a severe blow. But no one should have to work outside, especially performers and the kids pushing the human-powered rides! 😟

We will miss our loyal and enthusiastic patrons but encourage everyone to stay safe and check the Bristol website for updates on tomorrow's opening/closure status.

My heart goes out to our Canadian friends, some of whom have lost homes and lives.

Excited to be back at Bristol! Come visit our friendly staff for help with all your historical and fantasy costuming needs, across from the Mud Show. (Our good neighbors, the Sturdy Beggars, kindly keep the mud on their side of the road...and thus off our clothing 😁)
See you tomorrow!
