Ok, I really do feel like s**t. I came down with the flu (even though I got a shot) several days ago and it is not shifting. However I did get a a present in the mail today which made me feel somewhat better.

I received my Thorfinn sporran, #75 and it's a beauty. I'm bundled up in sweats and sweaters so I haven't put it on but I couldn't wait to share it with the rabble.

The sporran is a beautiful elk skin and it is very supple. Unfortunately the light doesn't do the colour any favours. The craftsmanship is truly wonderful. Turpin is a true artist and I consider myself very lucky to own one of these sporrans.



On the inside I asked for key fob, business card pocket, pen pocket and a pocket for my iPhone in it's armour. Of course everything fits perfectly and it sill has enough room to house a small family.



What was really a surprise was I hadn't been able to choose a second flap although I knew I wanted one. Turpin was going to send along a couple of leather samples for me to choose. Well I guess he saw my review of the Woollen Mill IoS kilt that I just received last week and....



The second flap is great and Turpin was so thoughtful to include it. I truly had no idea it was coming.

I'll get more pics of the sporran with the kilt when I feel better and of course those attending the NYC pub crawl this weekend will get t see it first hand.
