"All tartans are plaid, 
but not all plaids are tartans."

Tartan Parade 2012







Time for Favorites on the First

and all things Scottish

in honor of National Tartan Day.



 Lads and Lassies




Songs and Poems

of Robert Burns





Kilts and Tartans



Pipers


 And . . .

Scottie Dogs



 Scottish Terriers,

also known as Aberdeen Terriers

are originally from

the Highlands of Scotland.





Affectionally called Scotties,

these courageous, independent,

and self-reliant dogs

were bred to hunt

and kill predators

of the Highland livestock.



We don't have a Scottie,

but this cutie above has

recently joined our family.

Meet Sadie Mercedes.



 Sadie suggested we round up a

group of jaunty Scotties

for the Tartan Parade.




 Looks like these guys are lining up.



 It's sunny today, but with recent rainy days

I pulled out the umbrella just in case.

Surely it won't rain on our parade!



 We've got TARTAN!



 A freshly brewed pot of Scottish tea

steeping in its own tartan cozy, a gift from




 Scottie Shortbread Cookies

Walker's Pure Butter Shortbread

I added a touch of icing for color.



 Scottie Soap

from Gianna Rose Atelier



 Scottie Napkins Trimmed in Tartan



Here's how the tartan stacks up.

Arita Tartan Charger

Lauren Ralph Lauren Skyler

Target Holiday 2010 Classic Tidings

Global Design Connection by Kate Williams

Home Beautiful Stoneware in Royal Stewart



Each plate is white and bordered in a tartan

with the exception of the Kate Williams' pieces.

They feature this jaunty little fellow.



A coordinating butter dish

makes a perfect little serving tray.
LIFE'S LITTLE INSTRUCTION BOOK

was a gift from a student in 1991.

It was written by a father as words

of counsel to his son heading off to collage.

It's simply a list of things one should do.

Page 1, #2 :

Have a dog.



Happy Tartan Day!



Bluebonnet Tartan

Like others across the globe, many Texans will no doubt celebrate National Tartan Day on April 6, 2012. The official State Tartan, Texas Bluebonnet Tartan, was designed by June Prescott McRoberts in 1986 and adopted by the state of Texas in 1989. You can read more details about the Texas Bluebonnet Tartan here.

A special thank you to my friends JoElla and Susan
for letting me share photos of their Staffordshire pieces.
