We set off into the world as sutlers...

Museums, civil war events, fairs and villages...

Lately, we have been attending more

re-enactments. We have our new

sutler tent set-up. After a few trials

and errors as to the design... what

to use for posts, how thick the rope

should be, and several other attempts

at tie downs (the 8" nails painted black

from Home Depot pulled out, so we

now have 12" nails painted black

from Home Depot)... still these are not

strong enough... I am praying the

wind does not rise up toooo much.

I am thinking about painting a
"Rufus Porter" mural on the back wall.

And what to do about shelves? My old

crates and planks seem to be working well.

Wrapping it all up in brown paper and

bits of strings is my next plan to round

out the overall effect of stepping back

in time.
