Where Hands Create.

About Us

The Tinsmith’s Wife is simply a dream materialized. We have designed and planned the shop to be a gathering spot for those who love fine yarns, patterns, and needlepoint canvases and want to be inspired for the next project. Whether you live in Comfort or farther afield, there is a spot with your name on it at the shop and a warm cup of tea next to you.  Please join us.

Here is a cute shot of my parents, Susan and Bill

Who are we? Well, I am Wendy, and while I have the joy of being the owner of The Tinsmith’s Wife, I am also very proud of my work at Baptist Health System in San Antonio that keeps me busy during the week. Susan (a.k.a., Mom) is the Manager of the shop and our primary buyer (pictured above with Dad). She is able to turn her great shopping skills to awesome use for everyone by finding the very best of what is out there (and then a bit more). We are also supported by Scott (a.k.a., Husband) and Bill (a.k.a., Dad) – and we could not do it without either of them. Dad (pictured above with Mom) is simply invaluable; he does a tremendous job finishing our projects, fixing our messes, and generally being the nicest man in the world – and on top of all that his knitting is way better than mine.  We also have two wonderful shop cats, Noro and Laurel, who provide an extra bit of warmth (and at times comic relief) to the shop.
