About Shannon
Shannon is a relative newcomer to Faires; she attended her first one in 2007. After talking over the possibility of attending one a few months before the actual faire, and learning that attendees sometimes dressed up in period clothing, she started researching garments and styles. Before too long, Shannon was at the fabric store, and the rest, as they say, is history. Her attention to detail and skill as a seamstress can be seen in her costumes fine detail. This year, Shannon is breaking new ground. She will become the Marquise de Rothelin.
