Folksy Friday: Princesses and Knights!

It's that time of week again! Time for Folksy Friday!

Now this theme may seem a little strange but I couldn't resist myself! I'm a bit of a history geek, but very much a medieval to early modern history geek. Ask me about something that happened between 1649-1918 and I can't help you, the intricacies of the Lutheran reformation and the the Pilgrimage of Grace (1536)...I'm your girl!

Over the weekend just gone I spent 4 hours of my life on a speedy Gonzalez train to visit the boyfriend's family and in this time absorbed a new historical fiction novel which has reignited my desire to be a princess in the Tower of London (the White tower...not the Bloody one!...Or the Beauchamps for that matter!) I also may have had a little watch of a couple of Elizabeth films, so what other theme for my Folksy Friday could I choose other than Princesses and Knights?

OK, OK I know the days of knights in shining armour came a couple of centuries before Elizabeth I but a girl can dream!

Here are my picks!


Blue Agapanthus Gothic Fusion
Wychbury Andy Lanham Art
Gelert Design Jewellery Designs by Sarah Birt


So that was this weeks Folksy Friday, I appear to be doing this bi-weekly...so see you the Friday after next!

With heuuuggeeee thanks to Haptree's Folksy Friday Tutorial!
