Events are happening, and we're actually going to

Events are happening, and we're actually going to be at a few! As we can only spend so much time away from the shop, we're sprinkling our presence to different markets. Obviously, our 18th century friends got to see us not long ago at Fort Frederick. Next, June 8-12, you can catch us at Drachenfest (https://www.drachenfest.us), a live-action roleplaying game taking place in New Jersey. July 23-24, we will be visiting with our bushcraft and preparedness friends at the Vermont Preparedness Expo (https://vtprepexpo.com/). And we'll round out our official vending season with 2 full weeks at Pennnsic War (http://www.pennsicwar.org/) July 29 through August 14.

We're incredibly excited to be getting out there and letting folks know that, not only is Tentsmiths still around, we're making the same highest quality products for which the name is known. Hope to see you out there, and please stop on by to say hello!

We're a small shop and can't offer all the benefit

We're a small shop and can't offer all the benefits of a large corporation, but our stitchers do enjoy what we can offer, like puppy piles.

We're feeling poetic this week, but since we make

We're feeling poetic this week, but since we make tents, we're reading poems about tents. This poem by Emily Dickinson is about a circus tent, but so many of us can relate to these sentiments:

I've known a Heaven, like a Tent
To wrap its shining yards,
Pluck up its stakes and disappear
Without the sound of boards
Or rip of nail, or carpenter,
But just the miles of stare
That signalize a show's retreat
In North America.
No trace, no figment of the thing
That dazzled yesterday,
No ring, no marvel;
Men and feats
Dissolved as utterly
As birds' far navigation
Discloses just a hue;
A plash of oars -a gaiety,
Then swallowed up to view.

Houghton Library, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA
Dickinson, Emily, 1830-1886. Poems: Packet VIII, Fascicle 11. Includes 20 poems, written in ink, ca. 1861.
