I took a whole bunch of pictures at Coronet this last weekend, but most of the court and fighting pictures turned out awful. The majority of the good images I got were on my early Saturday morning walk around. It came as a bit of a good surprise at just how many period/periodesque/non modern pavilions were set up at the event. So I thought I would just post the images as a recap from the event.

This was the first time I set up the new temporary shelter. Learned I need to get a rigid pole to span the length of the tarp. The tarp bags a bit to much for my comfort. I slept in the small space along the back wall of the tarp. I used blankets to cover the sleeping area. The space was a little cramped as it was exactly the same width as my cot. Not room to get changed without some serious yoga moves. Planning on expanding the area out another 18″.

I am aways so much happier when all my mundane items are hidden away. It may not be a period tent, but it sure is not modern.

Mistress Agnes, and fellow Minion Morweena’s  round center pole pavilions.

Their Highness’ encampment. Lots or roman wall tents, Norse A-frame, and a couple of Bells.

Their Majesties encampment. Roman Wall Tents, A-frames.

Their Excellencies Lions Gate, and crew had the bells and sunshade going on.

I heart this Bedouin…. I personally would want more strapping, and loose the finials, drop the sides a bit…. but its black, and has those great center band wooden rope toggles…. I want my black tent!

More bedouin tents…. 2010 Bedouin is the 2000’s Yurt!

what a cone tent should look like. Cone like!

Finally Thors Gears merchant set up was made even more awesome with the brand new red and yellow stripy number.

Nice to see so many people taking pride in their shelters.
