    Mink sporran

    Lady Chrystel was a bit sad because she had to sew loads off stuff for other people (weddings etc.) and was behind in her planning.
    Today is Wednesday. Kids don't have school on Wednesdays in France , so we got up late !
    We had a solid breakfast with pancakes (crępes actually...) and then I tried to cheer up my little wife with a gift , her favourite summer fragrance: Sublime by Jean Patou.
    She smiles and tells me : "How did you guess ?"
    I was intrigued... "Guess what dear ?"
    - "How did you know I was planning to make your dress sporran today..."
    gasp !

    I didn't know... But she did it allwright , with leftovers of an old auntie's mink coat !
    When it was done, she stated to figure out the pleats of my next MacKinnon Red Modern Double Box Pleat kilt. I'm in total bliss !
    Obviously, making the sporran cheered her up as much as the perfume.

    here goes:









    Best,

    Robert

    Wonderful looking sporran, I am sure you will treasure it.
