Tartan Books
Recently, I spotted another plaid
silk covered book at a local flea market.
Cannot ever get enough of those.
It is because of images like these
that I have been inspired to collect them:

I have posted pictures
of my small pile in the past -
adding new ones as I find them.

| I think this was my very first tartan book. |

And a month ago
I found a BIG red plaid photo album
with golden tassels.
(I really need to start looking for other colors of plaid books
but I guess the red ones are more obvious and catch my eye?)
This one is a vintage photo album
filled with someone's family photos
from their trip to Scotland.
Kind of sad that no one in their family
cared to keep it. :(
But now I have it and I am enjoying it.
Very sweet pictures and wonderful
handwritten captions.
My stack of tartan books is growing.
Yay!
Yes! Your stack IS growing! I sure enjoyed seeing the others you posted, too. You know, I'm not sure I've seen ANY except for one paperback which I actually have here in the house somewhere.....
ReplyDeleteAlison these are simply amazing, love the tartan covered books...so gorgeous and so you!
ReplyDeleteyou're always inspiring Alison, and I love when you show your plaid! Wonder why companies don't pick up on the fact everyone loves tartan? It's so hard to find new products with it, or it just falls flat like PotteryBarn's tartan bedding last year. I bought the king duvet and it just wasn't that pretty.
ReplyDeleteAlison, I am in love with that photo album from the trip to Scotland!! And it is in such perfect condition too! Often old photo albums with the wonderful hand written captions are falling apart but you have a real treasure! I will now be on the watch for some of these wonderful tartan covered books. You really inspire me! Linda
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful display of tartan. Hard to find it at this time of year even around here.
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous! I am a huge fan of tartan but I have never found any of these books! Otherwise I would have snatched them up!
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a beautiful day!
Alison,
ReplyDeleteI love your tartan book collection. I have been watching for a few to add to my start up collection. Your home always inspires me with your great vignettes and lovely collections of things that make me smile!
xo,
Karen
Wow, you have a spectacular collection of tartan books. Each one more beautiful than the next. The one with the old photographs is a true treasure. A peek at someone's personal memories. That is amazing.
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you Alison. Stop by sometime.
Janet
Alison, I missed this when you first posted. You know every one of these images make me smile. Will add some of these to my Pinterest board. You have a wonderful collection. I've added a few more, but don't have but a handful. Always on the watch for more though. '-)
