Battlemoor — Merchants

Unlike most big wars I actually remembered to grab my camera and take pictures! I never got too far from the merchant area, though, so that’s what a lot of my images are from. And so, some of my fellow merchants!

This is Etherial Fire’s booth — lovely Middle Eastern and dance garb, and also really gorgeous handmade hair falls by Rachel. I’ve become good friends with them over a couple of big events. Also they have a beautiful husky named Angel, though I didn’t get a picture of her. Angel is VERY IN LOVE with Loiosh who does not return her feelings AT ALL.

Round A’s Pottery — beautiful work. I’ve been eyeing his stuff for a while now and finally bought a lovely soap dispenser from him. Sturdy, too — he’s been known to tie a string to a mug and toss it into the middle of the road — the tug it back to lure in customers. The road’s grass, but even so…

Domingo Rose makes simple, sturdy camp furniture — at very affordable prices, too. I had my eye on a set of his shelves last summer at Lilies, and I wish I’d been able to afford them.

Westmarch Forge is practically local to me — I see them at a lot of events. I love their new booth! He’s a blacksmith and metalworker, and she weaves beautiful trim. Here’s a closeup of some of his new stuff:

And of course there are more I didn’t get pictures of — including Briar Rose and Carolina Calicoes, whose proprietors I’ve become good friends with over the last year or so. I’d point to web sites, but I don’t think any of these fine folk sell online, either. Alas! But at least you can see their wares.
