When I think of tartan,
I think Scottish Highland, Ralph Lauren, little Scottish terrier dogs, Irish sea cliffs and home decor.

All beautiful!
One of my favorite patterns !
Beautiful pictures !
With a maiden name like MacDonald, you can be sure that I love tartan! Is anything cosier, in the wintertime, than a pile of plaid cushions? I love the red tartan evening gown in the shop window - wouldn't that be fabulous on New Year's eve? I've always wanted one tartan chair for the den - so warm looking.
I need to find somewhere to incorporate tartan into my home. Love all these images.
I have some Scottish blood in me too.
Happy Blue Monday, Diane. Be sure to check out my book giveaway.
Gorgeous photos.
Blue Curtains and Pillows. Have a great week ahead.
Beautiful photos! I like tartan and being a Gordon, we have a Scottish tartan. I have an old kilt that I should make into something. hmmm....
Wonderful post! Wonderful blog!
I love tartan, Braveheart, little Scottish terriers and skirt from 7th photo:))

Ditto what Alison had to say. Many of these fabulous images are new to me. I'd have a difficult time selecting a favorite, but mini cooper is pretty darn cute. Thanks for sharing. So glad you joined the Tartan Parade with this delightful post. ~ Sarah

You really found some amazing plaid images - wow!
I love the fashions - wish I was thin enough to wear any kind of plain anythere on my short chubby self, haha.
But I *espeically* love the Mini Cooper! I drive a red one - maybe I should get it painted like that! Haha!
