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.

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

#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

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

Ghosts of Christmas Past

We love Christmas.  We have two trees: one decorated with Scottie ornaments Mom has collected over the years and the other with ornaments from Santa Fe, New Mexico, a favorite place of ours.  We also have a Scottie fridge.  We exchange Scottie Christmas cards with Scotties around the world and we put them on the fridge until it is completely covered.  Last year, Mom said she took it down too soon and she missed seeing our Scottie friends so this year it’s still up.  Of course, Santa always comes to visit us bringing all kinds of cool treats and toys because  we have been good little Scotties. ~ Indy and Lucy
