Heartin' for Tartan...

and you thought I was going to say "mad for plaid."

1915 photo of my great aunt Ruth at about age 3 in full Scottish regalia.

I'm not sure why, exactly, but there's always been a place in my heart for plaid, or if we prefer to be proper, tartan. Maybe my Scottish roots are showing... or perhaps it's related to my love of autumn, when the crisp air says, "colorful wool skirt or jacket." Maybe it's a little of both. ;) Whatever the reason, I thought I'd share some kicky plaid items I happened upon while window shopping on Etsy...

A swell plaid umbrella from ReKindled Cottage...


A fun plaid picnic jug from OraGraceVintage...


The ever-popular Pendleton 49er in red & grey plaid from TopsyDesign...


Nifty plaid & black wedge shoes from AvantGarb...


Perky plaid kerchief from VintageDove...


A neat plaid overnight case from CircleCreekHome (and I might add, plaid inside and out)...



Pretty plaid 30s dress from SnootieSeconds...



And last, but not least...

A plaid book all about the clans and tartans of Scotland from Junquete...

I don't know about you, but now I'm feelin' plaid all over.
