    I grow fig trees... I could literally go pick a fig leaf and put it on the front of my sporran. Some of them are bigger than a sporran.

    That being said, it would be funny to have a fig leafe embossed into the leather of a sporran. It would look a tiny bit like a grape leafe.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    Actually, Ted, I have seen one of these in a photo online somewhere about two or three years ago. The leather was dyed leaf green, too. I nearly posted it here, but I felt that it was a little too literal for the mood here at the time. I looked for it again just now, but all I turned up were a few oak leaf interpretations that give nearly the same effect. Wouldn't mind if someone found it again to let me know.

    Regards,
    Rex.
    At any moment you must be prepared to give up who you are today for who you could become tomorrow.
