Flintlock Guard

16 May 2009
Saturday at faire and I fear my introvert personality came out in full force. I try to keep it at bay, in fact hidden from view, most of the time. But, by midday on Sunday I was simply done with people. I was tired, irritated and easily angered. So, I dropped myself into a chair in the corner and let my exceptional staff run the shop. I was there to answer questions when necessary, but for the greater part I was left alone and to my own devices. I’m okay with that.
This is the trigger guard on one of the flintlocks I sometimes carry on my person during a faire day.
Flintlock Guard
This weekend’s theme being "Pirate Invasion" it made sense to carry an anachronistic "pirate" weapon. And, it fits the up close & personal mini-challenge still.
Cheers.

    It’s interesting that you are an introvert, since I would never have guessed. Not that I see you more than once (twice last time) a year. Still…you always seem so outgoing and personable. If it’s an effort, congratulations! I was totally fooled – you make a marvelous pseudo-extrovert!
