Dealing with rain at faire

[Lady Ellie]

I saw an umbrella at Scarby that I just loved. It was covered with Ivy leaves. Would be great for sun but could be a problem for rain. Going to make me one someday.

Mine's got a sword hilt for a handle http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/travel-outdoors/d201/

It's big and great for the rain, but too heavy for just the sun. It's a good conversation starter as well. There's another site that sells a viking style one too, and Thinkgeek.com also has the samurai sword one. I rather like it

Oops, after looking, Think geek has 2 more new ones, that's exciting
