DO you have all materials that you need? Make sure to post pictures and news to "The Wee Harp"

I am still waiting on two books to get here, should be this week

the next thing I need to get made up is a banner for the tent, then a stamp, that should be it? biggrin

where and what can we use for a stamp? do we supply a picture or something? confuse

I get mine from http://www.highlandercelticstamps.com/contactus.html who vend at most games in California. They have a large collection of stamps including most clan stamps.

Thanks John, I used that to find a place that has the name Lamont under the crest in stead of just that small list

I ordered 2 and for a $1 more got the name added smile

What are the two books? I just want to see if there is something new to use.

super8mm · Senior Member

I ordered the following last week and now I have them all smile

Tartan For Me!:

Scottish Clan & Family Encyclopedia

Dictionary of Scots Words and Phrases in Current Use

Highlander: Fearless Celtic Warriors (Military Illustrated)

Scottish Lore & Folklore

Surnames of Scotland : Their Origin, Meaning and History

I have 2 stamps ordered now so all I need to do is design a banner and go get it made, that will finish off my basics then it will be some things like a table cloth and standard biggrin

Great selection. George Way of Plien (Scottish Clan...) is awesome with lots of in depth items. The Black's Surnames is also good although it doesn't list clan/ sept affiliation. I always have them at my site. I have to get the Scot's words and phrases.

I got them all off of Amazon

And -- this would be the early 1990s, rather than the 80s. I didn't get involved with CLSNA until about 1990. Really neat seeing these photos as I recognize a few of the regulars that attended the state and regional Scottish/Celtic events. I have some pictures from the same year somewhere around here . . .

it may have been 1990 as we started dating in Dec of 1990, thank you for hosting back in the day

she had about 10 pictures she came accorss in some stuff and noticed the tent in the background and called me at work to tell me about it

Very cool . . . and you're welcome! Salado was always my favorite "games," weather-wise. We enjoyed spending the weekend in that historic area with all its quaint gift shops and small town stuff and then going out to eat a little further down the road at a German restaurant. Brings back good memories!
