Linda Clifford, Scottish and Irish Merchant?

**Dall_Piobaire** · 9th July 09, 10:06 AM

Was surfing, adding to the ever burgeoning wish list, and came across Linda Clifford's site. She has, what looks like, pretty nice sporrans, matching buckles, and belts. From what I can tell, her wares look as good as any other I have seen!

Anyone have any experience with Linda or her creations? I like what I see, but I am really wary of buying this kinda stuff over the net, caveat emptor, know what I mean! She is this side of the pond too, so no customs or tariffs, so what say you all!

She is not far from me but I have never been to her store nor purchased anything from her.

One of these days I do plan to get up to Bethel and check out her store.

I will let you know if/when I do...

Hey kilted in Maine!

That would be awesome! I have family in Portland, but have no idea how close that is to Bethel.

I don't know if she is a middle "person" but her sporrans and belt buckles really got my mouth watering.

Keep me posted
Thanks

Looks nice. I will try to get there and nose around in the next month. Thanks for the heads-up.

I have seen Linda Clifford's site in the past when doing tartan searches. It used to be very amateurish. Professional-looking now.

Those photos have the look of others I have seen. I wonder about the source.

I might be terribly wrong, but her prices look a bit steep to me. Even with the conversion rates and all. I think you might do better with our own XMarks merchants.

Regards

It is only about 1 hr & 45 min drive from Portland to Bethel - nice drive through the western lakes region.

Bethel is home to Sunday River ski area and they used to have a train from Portland but they could not cut it financially.

It may be worth a Sunday drive (I better check her hours first) - I will let you know...

That would be great!

I miss New England so much

I heard that the ice strom of several years back really did a job on the backwoods!

I wish there were more comments, hate to think you went on a goose chase!

I was just thinking... I do believe I bought the tartan from her for my kilt about 8 years ago. Got everything I needed for the kilt in one package - a basic pattern, buckles and straps.
