Build time at Irwindale faire is coming up soon! I'm looking for a handy person to assist. You do need to be willing and able to dig holes, carry heavy things, climb a ladder, wield a power tool and follow directions. We are planning to build March 21, 22, 23rd.

You do not need tools, we've got them. I'll feed you and provide the gatorade too. Paid cash/venmo. Please email me - martina @ faireladiesfairelords dot com

I've just updated the website with more mens buttonfly pants - in light green. They're pretty awesome! Check them out and the many other colors available too!

Everybody calls these Venetian Breeches, and basically these are really good button fly breeches. This style was favored by the middle class.

After years of searching I've finally found a very talented stitcher to make bodices for me. And, the first batch is in! I've listed them on the website too. Butter Yellow and Olive Green linen bodices! So far in size 8,10,12. Also in progress, BURGUNDY!

Pre-orders are suggested in these colors. Take a look!

For those paying attention, the Green Linen Project is a GO! I repeat we are GO for Green Linen. Hunter Green!

In the last month or so, I've been hunting for a new supplier and I'm pleased to write that it was a success. I've got 2 new suppliers. AND, one of them will do a custom dye for the same cost as their regular line of colors in the linen/rayon blend I use so often.

I'm very glad this project is working out, and I hope you all are looking forward to grabbing up all the wonderful items that will be made in what may be every faire person's favorite color.

Here's a link to the original blog post:
