Simple Tartan

  

I've always been drawn to textiles with wool being my favorite.  I've picked up many of these wool blankets over the years at auctions, thrift shops and our estate sales.  See the little book in the middle?  That was a pick I made from one of our estate sales this past year.  It has a silk cover and has all the Clans of Scotland and their family tartan.  

I actually found one I have

One thing I regret that I didn't do on our trip was buy yardage of wool.  I should have bought and shipped it home or at least filled my carry on.  

I purchased sweaters instead...ahahah...another favorite of mine.  

I wanted to share a little more about Scotland from my previous posts.  

The 2 photos above are ones I took, near Glen Coe, Highlands, Scotland.  I really felt connected to the highlands with its beautiful, melancholy scenery.  You can read about the history of Glen Coe in a post I did here: The Story of Glen Coe  It's no wonder I come from a long line of "cautious" heritage (native too) it's in my genes I guess.  I recall many a "can't trust the...." in my lifetime.  However, most will tell you that I am too trusting...that's in the gene pool as well.  

I look forward to sharing my A Very Merry Scottish Christmas live video tomorrow night.  I hope you can join me.
