    Surprise gift in my mailbox

    Went out and got the mail yesterday.

    Inside was a package I knew nothing about!
    I didn't know it was coming, and my jaw hit the floor when I opened it up.

    Inside was a Thorfinn sporran - TCS #89.
    A beautiful acorn colored buffalo leather sporran.

    Inside the sporran was a little black pouch.

    Words can't even begin to describe how thrilled I am.
    It was a gift from a very special person.









    Turpin does amazing work.
    This thing is absolutely beautiful and the leather is so soft and supple.

    I am still absolutely floored!!

    Hmm, now I need a brown belt and brown sporran strap.
    Maybe a new pair of brown boots....

    GARY,IMHO, this "Gift" will become an "HEIRLOOM"

    Having a "SISTER" like you know who, is TRULY something to be "Treasured"
    & this Beautiful Sporran, being made, not only by a "Craftsman" but out of "BUFFALO HIDE" will last for generations.Fellow Thorfinn "clanner TCS #99

    What a nice gift. Congratulations on both the sporran and the friendship that arranged for the sporran.
