    Finally pulled the trigger!

    So after a long search, I finally settled on a new buckle by Don McKee. I chose the Celtic Knot buckle with knots upon knots, and a St. Andrews Cross appearing in negative space. Here’s a picture:

    Now I just have to wait for the postal carrier!

    So I ordered it yesterday (Thursday afternoon) from an e-Bay vendor, but I made a phone call to place the order. The seller told me that he was going to take it to the US Post Office right away. I expected it to arrive early next week. Well, what a surprise when I checked my mail box today (Friday) and there was a package containing my new buckle!!!

    I love it. The weight of it is very heavy, the quality is very high, and the design is very intricate.

    Now I really have to find a belt to go with it. Additional post to come...
