This is not a new ornament for 2015 but a precious one posted in honor of our friend Stuart’s crossing of the Rainbow Bridge.  It was originally purchased in memory of First Scottie, Sophie but we thought we would share it with Stuart.

image

This is such a happy shiny ornament for the Christmas tree.  It can be found at Campbell’s Scottish Terriers online.

image

We received this as a gift from Sally Fischel, Ruffian and Briar this week.  Made by folding material, it is absolutely precious.  Thanks again, Sally and to Leona Price of Saint Louis Scottish Terrier Rescue for making it.

image

Every tree need some glitz and while not a traditional Christmas color, Mom loves it.  The place ebay, buy some and share with friends.  We did.

image

The Wheatie boy that Mom longs to have is found on our tree. *kiss* Henry.  Needle felted, super cute, Etsy…

image

Little silver boy found on ebay, isn’t he darling?  Don’t go away.  There will be more plus some oldies but goodies before we finish.  Hope you had some fun. ~ Indy and Lucy

I know something tasty is inside this pretty box from Pamela Harden and Rupert.

Christmas is about little things like turning the tree lights on all day long and drinking candy cane coffee or holiday tea.

image

Maybe it’s a favorite decoration like Father Christmas.

image

It could be a special card from a friend.

image

a Christmas wreath…

image

a holiday rug…

image

a cozy bed….

or holiday dishes waiting to be filled with treats..  We hope that this holiday season brings comfort to your heart. ~ Indy and Lucy

What is Scottie and Christmas all rolled into one?

image

You guessed it, Royal Red Stewart Tartan!  Being a Scottie family we had some red tartan items, Mom bought a few more(she said it seemed the pattern was abundant this year), pulled them all together and it’s a Red Tartan Christmas for us.

image

This was a TJ Maxx Scottie last year.

image

Pier 1 had the mother load of tartan this year: pillows, wrapping paper, tree picks, ribbon…..Repeat: It’s all ON SALE NOW.  BOL.

image

A cushion covered here, a Scottie pillow there, small wreath on the walking sticks…. a touch of tartan.  We feel cozy; how about you? ~ Indy and Lucy

Mom found a red tartan tree pick at Pier 1 this year to compliment our tree and other plaid Christmas décor.

image

Picks are versatile and she said they are ON SALE right now. This one was put to use as part of the tree topper, in a vase arrangement and to add dimension to the tree.

The burlap poinsettias…..she said these had her name on them.  What color is your Christmas.  Obviously ours is red tartan. ~ Indy and Lucy

Scottie Shopping

Remember when Mom brought this great yard art back from Pet Expressions in Door County, WI.  We now know the origin.

image

We cannot say enough good things about this place. The store helps to raise money for a rescue and senior dog sanctuary in Minnesota.  A non profit rescue, owner Tracy Lundahl and her family facilitate numbers of dogs to their ‘furever homes.’  Senior dogs are allowed to live the remainder of their lives with loving care and comfort on the Lundahl’s farm.  So you ask where we found this…..ETSY.  You know how Mom likes this sort of thing.

image

If you need a gift or something for your garden, you will love this store.  Not only do they have great dog sculptures but cat and bird too.  Mom loves this WOOF garden stake.

image

We are sure we will be seeing this one soon in Oklahoma.

image

There are several pet memorial garden stakes from which to choose.  If you do not want it to age naturally, then you can always have it powder coated.  All breeds are available.  So many cute things…take a look ~ Indy and Lucy

Continued…..

image

#13 is actually a ceramic disc that Mom repurposed as an ornament.  She found it on Etsy and we love it because it reminds of our friends, Ruffles and Munchkin.

image

#14 is also a hand-painted ornament from an Etsy artist.  It says Happy Holidays along with holly berries on the back.  What a great keepsake for yourself or a friend.

imageamoodswing from ebay created this special ornament (#15).  Mom has purchased many from her over the years.  Some of the proceeds go to Seattle Scottie and Westie Rescue and that is always a good thing.  Mom  likes that the bow gives it an extra dimension.

image

#16 is from the same Etsy shop as #1: cherrysjubileecards.  Mom loves the classic Scottie Christmas card recycled like this.

image

#17 is just as happy ornament.  Mom thinks it’s the snow which reminds her of polka dots…we don’t need to tell you again how she loves those. Really, who doesn’t love polka dots? ~ Indy and Lucy

Christmas Time is Scottie Time

We are dressing up for Christmas.

image

Mom is not necessarily a fan of dog dressing  but it’s hard to resist a lovely vest and a Scottie girl in a tutu.

image

Sister loves to dress up.  She wiggles, prances and works it like the pint size diva that she is.

image

I am somewhat of a reserved fellow; I will wear my vest because it is nothing more than a harness but I don’t like to put it on.  It’s not so bad after awhile but you’ll never catch me strutting around in it.

The lady that made our Halloween costumes also made these.  If you are looking for something for that special occasion, Kelly does a fantastic job.  You will find her here on Etsy. ~ Indy and Lucy

The Parade of Ornaments was offimage

to an early start this year.  #1, the number means nothing except it was first listed, came from a card shop on Etsy filled with nostalgic holiday items, cherrysjubileecards.  Mom loves handmade.

image

She also loves Scotties and crescent moons. #2 is available on ebay in different colors.  Google Scottie Christmas ornaments. 🙂

image

#3 also found on ebay…who doesn’t love a bobblehead?  🙂

image

Mary Engelbreit (online) had several new ornaments with a beach theme this year.  Hailing in at #4, this is one of several.

image

#5 is a gift from our friends Patricia Bonnel and Sir Achille.  It is one a trio, painted by Manna Nelson, which include one for Lucy and the first Scottie, Sophie too.

image

This precious one is from Barbra Brandt.  The Scotties look like Indy and Lucy; don’t you think?

image

This is Santa’s Senior Moment…he has lost his sleigh and Scottie is helping him look.  #7, Mom identifies. BOL.

image

This cute ice skating Scottie came from our Kansas pals, Gordon and Gillis and their pawrents, Mary and Larry Lauber.  #8

Here are Indy and Lucy again at #9.  Handmade clay ornaments from an Etsy shop and a gift from Lulu Belle, her mom Judy and the rest of the Mudgett clan.

#10 was purchased at Seasonal Concepts and #11 was found online at Campbell’s Scottish terriers.  Mom says it is always a go to place for Scottie ornaments and other good Scottie things as well.

Painted by Manna Nelson, a gift from Leah McIntosh and her Mac is #12.  There is one for Lucy too.  Mom loves the gold color and the snow effect. ♥

Hope you love our parade.  There’s still more to come. ~ Indy and Lucy
