Welcome to the Tartan Parade Whether you are joining through Hyacinths for the Soul, Sarah's blog, or through a link at Upstairs Downstairs, Babs' blog, or coming in through Vignette Design, Delores's lovely site --- we are thrilled you've joined us. Does plaid dwell in your home? Maybe it's the first thing you see in the morning with your coffee? Maybe you have it on your lap when you curl up to watch TV or read? Do you catch a glimpse of it with your afternoon tea? Maybe you sit on it!? If it's not part of your home, maybe it is a piece in your wardrobe? Love it.... via Pinterest. Maybe you like it or maybe not. Maybe it harbors too many parochial school memories for you to have it in your house? (Had several bloggers secretly confess that to me! Don't worry --- no names mentioned! Promise.) I love it more and more the older I get and since I started blogging, I realize I'm in good company. There are lots of you out there sharing the same passion. Here are a few pics of some of the plaids and tartans in the house. Some you may or may not have seen. This is the outside of the trunk shown above. This old vintage "Locker Lounger" comes with legs and is large enough to make a great coffee table. Do you have tartans in the art in your home? Thanks so much for stopping by the Tartan Parade --- celebrating National Tartan Day a few days early this month.
