Hobbit Style Pouch


This weekend my daughter went to a birthday party and we made something special for the birthday boy.  He and my daughter are both prolific readers and raced one another through The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings Trilogy books.  So off to the fabric store we went and she picked out this fabric in a color which she felt a well to do Hobbit would want.  We then proceeded to the bank and traded in some paper money for the golden dollar coins to fill the bag.  Since it was his eleventh birthday we put in eleven golden coins.  We also included a gift certificate.  And the final touch came with the card which we made on the computer. It included a stanza from the song sung by the dwarves in The Hobbit -
For over the misty mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must away ere break of day
To seek the pale enchanted gold.

Pouch was sewn from suede like fabric and a leather cording.

Bilbo's Handscript font was used to write stanza from Dwarve's song
