I saw an ad for this 4 day event several months ago and made sure I wrote it on my calender. Friday I met my kids in
Junction City for the day to check it out.
Where else can you see some beautiful costumes? Some were very authentic.
Here was a grandpa and his granddaughter. They didn't mind one bit that I asked to take their photo. They were in a play later that evening and also danced.
Where else can you see Vikings walking around or just enjoying their lunch in a bit of shade?
We couldn't help but have a little fun ourselves.
I found this wonderful shop in Junction City called
Remains of the Day. Will you just look at the wall of remnants! Most were decorator fabric but they came in all weights. Thsi was only part of what they had!
There were also shelves and shelves of trims.
If I am ever in that area again I'll make sure i give myself some extra time in this shop.
You look so cute Lori! The look suits you - I think you need to make your own costume and I will get my kilt on!
ReplyDeleteOh how fun. You live in an area where there is quite a bit of culture from what I can tell. That fun pic made me smile and I really liked the blue costume that fella had on. Very lively event. …and oh the fabrics. Shucks, we love all fabrics. Just fabric and trims and what a great name "Remains of the Day." That would make a great blog name, too, if it isn't already taken.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun day. That shop looks pretty good too.
ReplyDeleteYou must have some Scandinavian heritage. You look authentic! I like the clever name of the shop too.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Look at that trim...I'm gonna have to head over that way soon and pick some up. Need to make some pillows and can't find much here!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun fair and great shop, love those trims, I would have gone nuts in there;)

I do love those costumes so much. That big room of remnants would be where I would spend some time too!!
ReplyDeleteSpecial celebrations and festivals like this one are my favorites to attend. People are so proud of their heritage and food and traditions. Cute photo of you smiling through that cutout.
ReplyDeleteThe shop looks like a place I could get lost it--and not mind a bit.
Hi Lori...Your picture reminded me of how one Halloween I dressed up as a Scandinavian Opera Singer...braids and the horn helmet and vest with the big 'chest' so that I could hit the high notes! I don't think my Grade ones got it but the staff loved it...especially when I broke out in song!! :o)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had fun!

I have always wanted to make that tote bag of Sue Spargos and you need heavy weight fabrics this would be the perfect place to shop for those!

That shop looks Amazing!! The Viking made me laugh, it's great to see people embracing the theme.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing shop.
