Pom Prizes!

[Pugwash]

I was honoured to win the November Post of the Month, and the prizes generously donated by Sash arrived yesterday evening. It's great because I was looking for a new wallet (moving back and forth between France and Scotland for the next few months - one wallet per currency) and you can never say no to a new pen, especially one this nice. The cuff-links and tie-clip, I'll keep in case I need cuff-links, but it's rare that I ever do - maybe they'll end up in someone's xmas stocking.

Anyway, the Wallet and Pen have immediately been pressed into service, as they're both excellent items, and therefore these will be the only pristine pics of them as they're about to get used properly. Here we go, some pics:

Nice pile of boxes ...

Pen box ...

... with a cool pen in it.

Someone's getting a Xmas pressie.

Envelope that comes in the wallet's box

Wallet interior ...

... and exterior. Smart, isn't it.

Once again, thanks to the staff of RWG for putting the PoM together and thanks to Sash for providing the prizes. Mostly though, thanks to all of you that stayed away in droves from entering this competition.

ps. I love winning stuff. Especially when it's this good.
