oh I had a lot of fun at the Maryland Ren Faire yesterday! I bought a hand woven ruana in a pattern called Magic Hour and I’m going to wear it ALL WINTER I promise you that

Oh also I saw a pirate escape shackles and also a stunt show where an extremely hot woman swallowed a sword and I literally saw god

Since my music life has stalled a bit due to the pandemic I thought I would bring back a segment I haven’t done in a while called “Artisan Alert”. Today I’m going to showcase “Greentree Weaving”. I first came across Greentree Weaving’s work at the Maryland Renaissance Festival about 10 years ago. It was a cold, rainy day in September and the dress I was wearing was not suitable for the weather. After shivering for several hours my parents suggested that we buy something at the festival to keep me warm. Earlier that day my mom had purchased a jacket from one of the shops and I thought it was pretty so I asked where she got it. She told me it was from a shop called Greentree Weaving. So I went to the shop and immediately fell in love with the beautiful fabrics. I marveled at the workmanship as well as the softness of the cloth. I learned that each piece is handwoven by the owner, Margaret Fischer, and her apprentices. That day I got my first piece was a Ruana in the color Cosmos. That particular piece caught my eye because there had been synthetic shiny strands woven in with the nature fabric. Since that day my collection has grown to shawls, scarves, hats, more ruanas, jackets, one mini-ruana and one purse.
