At the 26th Annual Arizona Renaissance Festival area there is a section where the English Group has built their own village.  Over the years I have watched them create their 16th Century European Village of Fairhaven just as it would have been done in medieval times.

In this picture I am sharing an image of a mother dressed in period attire along with her child sleeping the a basket at her feet.   The original image is one of mine and the beautiful watercolor is from contributing artist, Joyce.

On a side note, I just returned from a week away visiting New Orleans during the Jazz Festival and exploring the city with my wonderful sisters. I’ll be posting up images from the trip soon.
