... because...
National Tartan Day
is coming up on
April 6, 2012!
 |
So,
if you have any plaids or tartans
in your home or wardrobe
please plan to share it with all of
us at the linky party
on April 1st for
Favorites on the First!
But wait,
you must know,
we are trying something
different this time.....
this month's linky party
will be a BLOCK PARTY
which we have affectionately named
The Tartan Parade.
 |
| Four Blog. Four days. Be there. April 1 - 4, 2012 |
It will take place on these
four plaidly tartan-obsessed blogs:
Hyacinths for the Soul with Sarah
Upstairs Downstairs with Babs
Vignette Design with Delores
and The Polohouse.
 |
| This is Fitzpatrick Tartan, and my great-great grandmother was a Fitzpatrick.:) |
Yes, you might have noticed,
we post rather regularly on our plaid collectibles.
It is an obsession -- we know,
and some of us are in group therapy because of it,
but we are skipping it this month
and decided to hold a little
"group therapy" of our own,
and
YOU ARE INVITED!
|
| Four Blog. Four days. Be there. April 1 - 4, 2012 |
and flaunt your
PLAIDITUDE
for all to see.
So if you are
MAD
FOR
PLAID
link here or with Delores, or Sarah, or Babs
at one of their blogs
and we all be able to celebrate
the day together!
Cannot wait to see
your plaiditude!
Join in for the Tartan Parade, won't you please?

Oh yay, this sounds fun, I'm putting it on my calendar!!
Alison, if only I can get Joe into his kilt. He has an authentic one from Ireland and I nearly had to beat the Irish woman who fitted it on him. She was flirting. We used to go to festivals and he wore it then. I fear I have very little plaid around here but will love seeing other folks plaids and tartans. hugs, olive
Sounds like a lot of fun. I don't have any plaid/tartan anything, but I will be lurking and checking out all of the others.
What a great idea Alison! I love plaid and use it often in my clients homes. Always love the end result! Do have a few plaids. . . .hmmmm.

Seriously, Allison? Not being of Irish or Scottish dissent, there's no plaid happening here. There are probably a million other plaidaholics out there, but not me. I did my plaid thing in Catholic school. :)
I am mad for plaid. I have to be Scottish somewhere back in my heritage because I love it so much! Can't wait to for the party!
it works, i got through!!!!
i am a plaid-o-phile, but it's harmless, will go into my tartan collection

Boy now I sure wish I had the parade of plaid dresses my mom made me when I was little. Maybe I can scan the pictures.... hmmm...

Sounds fun, I think I even have enough plaid t post all four days. LOL
Alison, great job. I'm so excited we are doing this for Favorites on the First. ~ Sarah
I love plaid... There is plaid at my house too, just not sure where at the moment!
It is so timeless isn't it.
Happy Spring*

A girl with a tartan header would not miss this party!
My entire laundry room is plaid, but NOT the pretty kind. It is next on the list to be remodeled! :o)
Hi Alison, I love plaids and tartan. I don't have a lot of it but love it. I've added your mad for plaid to my sidebar.

Sounds like fun. I will have to join up since our sir name, Knox, is Scottish.
I will see what I can come up with.
BTW, I liked you on facebook and subscribed to email. I am trying to switch over to email notices. Seems better to have it all in once place.
Have a great weekend. Ginger
Hi! Alison,
Love the mad for plaid! lol. Sounds like fun!
I still haven't done the Linky change over yet. A must do.
Love plaid and tartans, too! In my blood, my great-grandmother was Scottish from Aberdeen :o)
Hey! I'm having a Giveaway on my website. Don't forget to enter the draw. Everyone is welcome!
Have a fabulous weekend!
Blessings & Hugs,
Marlene
Great art designs on the fabrics.It really extra ordinary creation on the fabrics.This kind of fabrics use for the blanket.
Yes, of course, here I am... do you see my hand wildly waving? I LOVE tartans!We are a member of the Buchanan clan and I see you have our tartan in your post! As a child I lived a few years in Scotland and went to an all girl's private boarding academy and wore tartan every day! Oh, I should get out some old pictures of me in my tartan uniform! Tartan just feels like home to me!
I am looking forward to the Tartan Parade. Thanks for putting this together for us!

HEY MY LONG LOST BFF~

xxoo

Yes, no error message. Don't take this personally but that was ugly. Had to be frustrating on your end. I don't have much plaid, if any, but I will be sure to see what everyone else brings to the party. Later!
This is a great posting I have read. I like your article.
Cute idea! The last time I saw so much plaid was catholic school:) I can't say I have any plaid just the memories.
