Anyone know what happened to them? I always take folks there for garb 1.0 that goes good with the warm weather  :'(

Last heard, and this is only hearsay, is that Lady Dra's health has been failing.  Last year she set up a co-op with Wenches at Work. It is possible her wares have been moved to their shop.  /shrug
That is all I know, and like I said, it is 2nd & 3rd hand.
It is kind of strange watching your personal history become costume.

As I understand it, she leased her shoppe out last season to someone else, who was selling her products, but her products are not on site at all this season.

I have also been told by several people, who have known her for some time that her health is indeed poor, and has been for a couple of years, which is part of the reason she herself was not on site last year.

I actually spoke with Lady Dra not more then a day or two ago (ordering another of her comfy shirts). Her health is fine and she was awnry as ever!

But she is slowing down in her festival appearances and will stick with TRF, Minnesota, Ohio and New York. She did have a rep at Sherwood this year as well but not sure if they will return next year.

If you venture into her old shop at Scarb you will see the signatures on the ceiling of all those that help build it several years ago. I will miss her and her compadres, Wenches at Work, at SRF. Good people.

I, too, was sorry to not see her shoppe on site this year. Hers was one of three or four that we regularly spend our hard-earned money at. Another, L.A. Williams, was also absent. Allen had told me last year that they would have a permanent building this year. The building was there, but Allen was not. Thank goodness my dragon ring shoppe was still there!

The folks that were running Dra's shoppe are the ones who model for her on her website.
