One of the prime benefits of this site is the discovery of resources that you didn't know about. I have been looking for a day sporran and found out about Rkilts in Stratford, which is only 45 miles from where I live. I checked out the web site and fell in love with the classic sporran. Today a buddy of mine and I went to visit Robert's workshop and I ordered a belt, sporran and strap that he will make after he gets more leather in the mid brown colour that I like. He had a piece of buffalo hide that was perfect but, alas, not large enough so I'll have to wait a while. Robert's work is exactly what I have been looking for. I did buy a lovely pair of grey hose.

What was ironic is that I discovered that Robert had been a vendor at the festival that my wife I run (Goderich Celtic Roots Festival). I was unaware of this because during the festival I rarely make it to the craft village as I am always needed somewhere else. My buddy is also a theatre director and knew Robert through his gig as a teacher in the theatre programme at Ryerson. Serendipity rules.
Speaking of theatre, I was in our costume area last night looking for some military miniature medals for one of our actors and found that someone has donated a horse hair sporran. Now the theatre will never use it so I hope to buy it on the understanding that I will loan it back if it is ever needed in a future production.
So possibly two sporrans in 24 hours! Now, wish me luck as this coming Sunday is dress rehearsal for The Great Storm of 1913.
