    The jonesin' is over

    So yesterday I got a call from my boss. The Fedex truck pulled up and delivered my new Ferguson Britt Glengyle Natural Canadian Beaver sporran with black leather cantle and strap!!! The weeks of jonesin' were finally over.

    It's hard to describe how soft the beaver is. I'm enjoying just holding it and stroking it. I expect there will be some amusing moments when people ask to pat my beaver.









    This shot shows the unique closure system for the strap - no buckle









    The obligatory interior shot- difficult to hold the sporran open and take the picture with the other hand. I can get my hand inside with no problem, but I'll definitely have to make some choices about what I put inside. Not nearly the amount of space that I have in my Thorfinn sporrans.

    Congratulations! I know it doesn't seem like it, but that really wasn't too bad a turn-around time at all.

    It looks fantastic. Enjoy.

    It almost seems a shame to wear it when I can get so much pleasure just holding it and stroking it!

    Congratulations!
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…

    Congrats, and I know the feeling of beaver. I often times catch myself just stroking my sporran.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes to do that from time to time.

    Yes. But congratulations on the new sporran.
