Medieval Barbie

Medieval Barbie

Medieval Barbie is wearing a dress made of dark green velvet with an underskirt of very fragile gold metallic brocade.  She is standing by the dark pink peonies that came into bloom yesterday.

Medieval fairs are very popular attractions in the summer and there is one near here every year in the hamlet called Osgoode.  Here one can watch jousting, a hand-fasting and see crafts people ply their ancient trades.  There will be puppet shows, magicians, dancers, and a murder mystery dinner.  You can buy jewellery,  bread and honey, clothing and armour. 

Barbie will fit right in.   Fit might not be exactly the right word; she's a little shorter than most of the other fair-goers but you know what I mean.
