| Thorny Rose first started because a few friends and I saw a
need- for good quality work at reasonable prices. So, four of us got
together and started sewing. Our first event was a Renaissance Faire
in southern Virginia (Black Diamond in Atlantia) in October 1991. We
were well received.
| |
Over the next couple of years, we grew a bit and got used to the
fact that we would have fabric over every flat surface in the house
(I have to thank my husband for being extremely understanding). We
gained a partner and started merchanting at Pennsic (Pennsic XXI,
our first). In June 1993, I discovered I was expecting a baby and then moving. It was decided that I would
buy out the other partners. After the birth of my first child, I
started sewing full time, as it allowed me to stay home with the
baby. |

Ever since then, we’ve grown and grown. We started taking credit cards and business exploded! It's gotten big enough that two people just can't keep up- so we've hired more machine operators and on we go!
| |
Now, we have expanded to making everything from the basic t-tunic
to a full modern wedding gown, and everything in between. Have
something you’ve always wanted and never been able to find? Give us
a call (or send an e-mail)- most likely,
we’ll be able to accommodate your needs!
Well, here we go again. . . we've gone and expanded once more! We have recently acquired a building at the
Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire (www.parenfaire.com) and will be busy with that
from mid-August to the end of October. This is a big step for us, as the faire sees over 150 thousand yearly visitors!
So, come and visit us in this new adventure! For those of you that are interested, I've chronicled the transformation of
the building at www.thornyrose.com/PARFbooth.html. We're also
in the process of redesigning our logos. .
As I sit here and contemplate the past 15 years. . . wow, 15 years! Sometimes it's hard to believe that it's been
that long. As I sit here, all that comes to mind is Thank you to all of our customers over the years- and welcome to those
that have yet to become part of our extended family. .
