I am so excited to declare this event officially open. I even dragged myself awake at 6 in the morning just to do it! ;)
If you haven't yet reviewed the event rules and details, please do so now by clicking any of the displayed event banners. Click here to find instructions on submitting your blog links and photos.
I'm starting off the event by sharing my own "medieval" photos and posting the weekend's giveaway (yep, only one this time ;). Tomorrow, you'll be able to see a great photo-filled post on Olivia de Havilland's costumes in the 1938 film version of Robin Hood. On Sunday, I will be showcasing my own "modern Marian" look and then we'll finish things up on Monday with the grand finale of Robin Hood Season 3 and a complete list of resources for anyone who loved the television show's costumes.
Sound good? Then jump in and join the fun! :)

Medieval Maid Marian
I know that I've said this about two million times already (lol), but I just love fall in New England. There's something about it that always feels very medieval. Maybe it's the woodsy, brown and golden colors or the smell of burning leaves that always conjures up fantasies of fires burning long ago. And it's definitely a beautiful time to be on the lookout for fairies and other wee folk while you're strolling through the forest...
I lucked out when it came to an outfit to shoot for this category. I was a bridesmaid in my darling friend Melissa's medieval/renaissance wedding (see photos here) and this was my gown. We really were blessed to be able to make dresses that we liked so very much and actually could wear again. It's really a fabulous gown and perfect for any sort of medieval extravaganza. It makes me feel, if not completely Marian, very close. :)
There! Now that I've shown my Medieval Marian fashion, it's your turn! Click HERE to submit your blog posts or photos! And be sure to enter the giveaway! :)
