We arrived early and walked around for about an hour and a half before we had to leave.
It was really interesting to see the various folks walking around in unique costumes; checking out the wide variety of antiques being sold; and coming across unusual creations made using pieces of metal and glass. Even the music was unique.
While walking around, I came across a vendor selling old door knobs, knockers, locks, vintage keys, etc. I picked up a hand full of various size keys to have on hand for sketching.
Keys close to actual size.

Although I took several photos, I didn't get what I now wish I had showing more of the folks wearing costumes and other various attractions. We left before the real action started (which I believe was a show put on by several in costume). Oh well........maybe next time.
Small sampling of costumes.....Hand sewn journal/Fabriano; Falcon pen and Lamy Safari / Lexy Gray ink

Really enjoyed your take on this too.
I promis to try a few sketches of folks from my photos.
Loved all the goggles.
Fun day.
Thank you Ginny :-) I'm looking forward to seeing what you do !!!
What a fascinating festival! I enjoyed your sketches. I'm really drawn to the keys. I'm going to have to look for a few to sketch myself.
SusanA.....thank you dear lady :-) .....you can find old keys via Ebay. I only bought a few at the festival as a token of our outing there.
