It’s my birthday, and it’s a big one. So since this day is all about little “old” me, I’m sharing some of the things that have me all ready to get down and party; and wouldn’t you know it, they’re all tartan. While I’m particularly fond of the Keith Tartan, lately I’ve been gaga over many red hued patterns that I seem to keep stumbling upon while out in the world. I think it must be because it’s that time of year, and of course I have not been able to resist purchasing anything I’ve come across that even remotely hints at the striped and checked Scottish inspired pattern, including these slippers available at Kohl’s, and this wrapping paper from The Container Store. So get ready to be cozy, while I share some of my absolute favorite Tartan things with you. Remember, it’s my birthday, and you have to humor me.
Potato, Dill and Rosemary Pizza from JJ Begonia…hello and happy birthday to me.
I’m wondering if I could attempt this DIY Nail Art | Christmas Tartan from Beautyill for my birthday. I think I’d be lucky to even get the base coat of red on without royally f’ing it up.
If you’re going to eat a gingerbread man, he should always be wearing a quilt.
Learn how to Add a Little Plaid to your life from Common Ground, because there can never be enough plaid.
This Tartan Red Plaid Cotton Flannel Infinity Scarf available on Etsy is just what I need to keep me warm on a cold winter’s day.
When my birthday’s over, and I have to return to reality, perhaps I’ll make these White Chocolate Gingerbread Oreo Cookies from Living Better Together to share with all of the people who made my special day so very special.
Lumber Jack Antler Wreath anyone? I think Nest of Posies DIY wreath idea ROCKS; not just kind of ROCKS, but full-blown out knock your socks off ROCKS.
Design Sponge shows how to make the perfect Winter Picnic. Who’s in?
If it’s too brrrrrrrrrrr outside for a picnic, maybe we can just eat in. On a table like this one featured on Take Six.
Williams-Sonoma has the entire menu taken care of.
Remember how I said I didn’t want cake for my birthday? Well, I still don’t, but that doesn’t mean that I can’t watch everyone else enjoy this Tartan beribboned piece of art.
Thanks for helping celebrate my birthday. Brenna and I will be snuggling close today, me in my tartan slippers and her snuggled into her tartan blankie. Join us in whatever tartan or plaid paraphernalia you have on hand, and feel free to share your pictures.
