    New Sporran (Graduation Gift)

    My parents and my grandparents gave me this beautiful sporran as a college graduation gift lastnight. My grandfather and grandmother made it some years back. I've always admired it--badger makes such a pretty sporran!

    Also, just because they wanted to--they also gave me this skunk full mask sporran and this black leather daywear sporrans that they made. He designed them to be very lightweight, being unpleased with the heaviness of some of the sporrans he purchased. For me, as a Scottish Country Dancer, they are perfect!

    Congradulations, and awsome sporrans! That badger is the self-same sporran that I've had in my mind's eye, as my ideal head-on affair.

    Would you mind if I saved the picture, for refrence when I get around to having one made?

    Congratulations on Graduation, and welcome to the working world!!!

    Also, those are beautiful sporrans, and having them made by family makes them even more special.

    Again congrats,

    They are nice, but I wouldn't wear them here as the animal rights folk would be giving me a hard time. I bought an animal hair hat in Poland, and the first day I wore it I was approached by someone who said "I hope it is not real".
