The summer we married, my husband was in graduate school, and I was employed as a teacher. We took a portion of our savings that summer and purchased a sailboat. We christened our Catalina 22, “Hyacinths For The Soul” after Saadi’s poem. Our "Hyacinths" provided years of pleasure.

    I always think winter when I see tartan--I guess it is because of the popularity of tartan plaid scarves! I am going to try to join your party. Your table is beautiful, as usual. Linda

    I usually think Christmas when I think plaid, but you've clearly shown, tartans aren't just for Christmas.

    bwaaaaaaaaa....I can't think of one teeny tiny bit of plaid in my whole entire house. I would LOVE to have some as I love plaids...and I surely would love to join your party. Sooo sorry.
    Unless something plaid falls from the sky on my silver head, I am out of luck.
    I sure love your dishes, tho.

    Poor, poor me...I have no plaid dishes, and I LOVE them every time I see them. I will think good and hard about a plaid table for the upcoming "holiday," though. Should be fun to see those posts! Thanks for visiting my baby shower post, Sarah. ~Zuni

    These are more than beautiful! I don't think I can find something similar in my town, but I'm starting to think I could paint some tartan dishes myself:))) It is worth a try! Thank you for your kind comments and for the extended visit :)

    Hi Sarah,
    Your plaid teacup is very pretty. I really like plaid but unfortunately, my hubby doesn't. The shortbread looks really good too; yum! Thank you for sharing this with us and enjoy your week.

    Well, POOP! Would you believe I don't have a SINGLE bit of plaid at my house??? Not even clothes, that I can think of.
    Now DD's home...that's a different story. I could have borrowed TONS of stuff from her's.

    Cute vignettes, Sarah & a wonderful idea for a meme. Next time, maybe.

    Hi Sarah,

    Sarah, Your tartan dishes are just lovely and that teapot with the thistle on the top is to die for! I'm Irish and my hubby's a Scot, but I have no tableware at all with plaid on it. I think I'm going to have to remedy that very soon. ;~)
    Have a truly wonderful week!
