Help me out with some ideas here Nomad!!!

Had the same problem with the bank today. Ideas ?? Is there any food youve heard about that sounded good, or is there a particular state you fancy ? I could send you something that represents our state ??? My choice ? A surprise ? Hows that ?

Does anyone know if we can send plant seeds from country to country? It would be cool to grow something from another country.

Nomad....as this was your idea, I think you should get a 'surprise' from good old blighty...PM me your details and I will have great pleasure in some retail therapy and will send you the results....can't wait to start looking.

I do have a question though....I have always been interested in Indian dream catchers. Is this really a Native American thing or just a gimmicky thing they sell in 'quirky shops' ?

I go to pow-wows around here every once in a while. I got a dream catcher to hang in my car at one. They're cool!

What happens at a Pow-Wow obi1 ?

How much would a dream catcher cost ?

observer1 · Post by **observer1** » Tue Oct 11, 2005 12:33 pm

I probably paid about $5 years ago for that one. It's a small one though. It depends on the size & intricacy of them. They can probably go to about $100 or more.

There's nothing more soothing than Native American flute music, IMO. They have pow-wows during Kipona along the river on Labor Day weekend every year. They have the dancing, clothing, dream catchers, sculptures, food, etc., there. Very fascinating! Once, I went to a pow-wow with a friend. There was an Aztec dancer there in authentic garb. He was something to watch! Got pictures with/of him too!

If I can dig them out & find a scanner, I will. But I just moved & they're probably in storage. I'll see what I can do. I think my brother or sister might have a scanner.
