    I like that! (Or maybe it's just the model ) I'll have to show this to a lady in the office. She's very interested in her Welsh heritage and would probably like this.

    Which item? They all look good (with the possible exception of the T-shirt). The Welsh ladies are to be complimented for insisting on something of their own.

    BTW, a dictionary defined a "serape" as a "woolen blanket, often brightly colored, used as a garment in Spanish-American countries." Is this an equivalent from the Celtic past, or is this a cultural borrowing that the Welsh are making their own?

    I thought the cultural borrowing was more in the lines of the name than the garment style itself: do you guys think it looks like a serape?

    Bryan...maybe I oughta look one 'o them serape things up on the web...
