Field Trip to the Scottish Tartans Museum

[BoldHighlander]

Today the drama teacher at my high school and I took her technical theater class on a field trip to the Scottish Tartans Museum in Franklin, NC. We were hosted by our own Matt Newsome, and a fine time was had by all.

Cool! Great photos!

While the kids were browsing in the gift shop the FedEx man and the USPS letter carrier arrived with packages. I got to see Matt open several bundles of tartan fabric. Just like Christmas!

Hey! Was one of those Moden Mackay /House of Edgar?!

In one of the packages he found this little gem...a gift from our own Kevin Kinney at Empire Canvas Works. A wee leather "kiltmaker on board" kilt pin, complete with needle and spool of thread.
Here's Matt modeling the new pin against his Carolina tartan kilt apron.

VERY COOL!

Well.... actually it was! lol.... Actually, to tell the truth, two of them were! House of Edgar somehow duplicated my order, so I mistakenly received two lengths of cloth for your kilt. I've got an email in to them currently to see if they need the cloth back, or if it was really meant for somewhere else, or what. Depending on what they say, you folks may be seeing a thread here with me trying to find a home for some modern Mackay heavy weight tartan!
