<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 10367073, member: 5833"]Those are definitely more than a cut above typical royal schlock.

Have a cheap mug from the marriage of Andrew & Fergie. A regular Will & Kate collection: a small throw pillow; a pen; a shopping tote; a t-shirt that says something like "Will & Kate, kissing in a tree..." Another t-shirt from QE II's 25th, silver jubilee. A rather hideous color combo of red on mustard yellow, with the design printed off center. Purchased at the little shop in Rockefeller Center, underneath 30 Rock, that was surely the inspiration for the running Saturday Night Live sketch of the store that sold only Scotch tape & never made any sales. The real place sold only things from Scotland. The proprietors were an elderly couple, the embodiment of 'dour', who both stood, waiting, behind the counter, very forbidding looking. Thought they would brighten up when I went in, but nooo.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
