Medieval Noble Lady things

[sister_raphael]

We were extremely fortunate this year to be given extra room at our camp as our neighbours were not able to attend. Usually this small white tent is closed and used for changing, hiding food and water and storing all the props and clothes from the Opening Ceremony, but since we had extra space, we needed to use the room is a pretty way so that festival goers had something else to look at.

As it was raining during set up and for the entire weekend, I decided to set up a Noble Lady tent as a static display next to the Bath and Hygiene tent, and this is how is looked. I slept in here for the few days and made it as pretty as I could with the roses wall hangings (being upgraded but a long-term project you may be familiar with), tric trac board, squirrel, imported glassware and a table full of expensive lady things. Of course, it meant transporting a whole lot of extra items which made for a lot of setting up and packing down, but I hope you'll agree the end result was worth it.

Many people have open tents, but it's a little bugbear for me that some say they are nobles but have a lot of generic multi-period items which can be used for all socioeconomic groups. Yes, these things existed, but if you're playing the rich, you need your rich things. Playing a noble is very expensive, but it don't mean a thing, if you ain't got that bling!
