    A Gift for my Sporran

    Just getting around to posting this. My sister gave me something for my sporran and something for my desk. The note book is 2 1/2 inches by 2 inches. My son said now I need a "sporran pencil," so he said to go golfing and take the marking pencil.

    When ever I say the word "sporran," I go into a Scottish dialect and I was talking about my gifts and 3 people all at once asked what are you doing? So then I really laid on the accent and they thought for sure I was crazy.

    These gifts were purchased from a gift shop on Nova Scotia, Canada where my sister traveled this summer.



    DALE.

    You don't have to be Scottish to be comfortable!

    Congratulations on the notebook thingy, and good luck with stealing a pencil.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    That's awsome. I like the Scotsman with the sword...that design would look great on a t-shirt.

    LOL...I have that, too...however I usually get "what part of Ireland are you from?" because I can switch between my Irish brogue and American accent quite swiftly.

    Have fun with your new notepads.

    Cheers.

    Go to www.flavell.com that is what is printed on the back. I see they have wrapping paper and bags in tartan design too, plus lots of other Scottish items.

    DALE.
