National Tartan Day...

April 6th is National Tartan Day, a celebration of Scottish Heritage!  Being of Scottish heritage myself, I thought I'd share a few of my Scottish and tartan-inspired goodies...













Slainte! (Health!)

    I am Scottish through and through, something I just found out recently while doing some genealogy! I didn't know that the 6th was National Tartan Day, so thanks for letting me know, and I love all of your wonderful Scottish pieces!

    Love your Scottish Collectibles! I used to be quite enamored with Mary Queen of Scots when I was in high school - I read everything I could find on her and loved that movie with Vanessa Redgrave and Glenda Jackson.

    I love that Scottie dog! And just to be stupid, I didn't realize Scotties were Scottish. I just had one of those duh moments!

    I love that statue! It reminds me of an old French lady and gentleman statue set I have. The colors on yours are so wonderful. Have a great day :)
