LadyHawke brought to my attention that the 3 "Pillars" need a sort of pin or soemthing of the sort.  That would be LadyHawke, Ragna, and I, if I recall correctly.

As for a pin, I'm at a total loss.  ANyone have any bright ideas to signify the three of us?  I've been too busy thinking about garb and costumes for halloween to really think about what to make for the 3 of us.  I thought something as simple as a ribbon to attach to our pins.  Or maybe something as complicated as some sort of garment?

Go on...discuss  :D

How about a rather large and complicated hat... ;D

I believe that my "Hat" comment might have discouraged others... Sorry

Oh no, not at all! I thought the hat comment was rather funny! I love big hats and think this would be terribly creative to make a hat as such! A pain in the rear to wear but you'd definitely see us coming  ;D

Made me laugh too. I'm picturing the three of you running about with columns on your heads. Easy to find you at pubsing I say!

Or how about the floppiest cavalier hats possible with lots of feathers and things that make noise; bells and shiny metal stuff...

What? bells, feathers, floppinesss.....UGH!  LOL, and yes I can see all three of us in said hats, making noise as we make our grand entrances.    Since apparently the hat has been decided upon....I'll see what I can come up with or at least make a few calls and see what a few friends who are milliers can come up with.

LOL I LOVE IT!! Where's Poofie when you need her?

lol, I'm here.  I was thunking something as simple as a a stupid ribbon attached to our pins.  Or a special pin.  But a hat?  Oh man...  I look so bad in hats  XD

However...bells.  THOSE I can get behind.  Ask Lorelei, lol, she *hates* all my bells  XD

Actually, I was thinking maybe this...  I imagine the Andrew's family has tartan of some sort, no?  Maybe a piece to hang off our shoulders or something?

Ragna

That Poof is a brilliant idea! 

Here are several links to what could be the "Andrew's" tartan

or our friends from the Scottish Trading Company have tartan ribbon, about $30 a 22 meter roll.

I really like the ribbon idea....while I love hats...I generally can't stand to have them on my head for longer then a fw minutes.  We could take the ribbon and make a pleated circle to go behind our Castleteer pins

Totally agree.  hats are awesome, but I don't like stuff on my head.  The pirate hat i tolerate, cause it makes me look awesome  :P

I was thinking #4 of this with his tartan maybe?

But the ribbon totally works too.

Ragna

Works for me.  I've not found an Andrew's tartan on line.  I'll get in touch with Matty from Scottish Traders and see if he can give me an idea about the appropriate tartan.

Hi poof bird, I think hat look beautiful. They also add a charm in your style too. And mine favorite place to buy all mine accessories is Scottish kilts for sale. Because they always have stylish one in affordable price.
