Hello and welcome to you all! It is an exciting day for me as our home and cottage are the December Cottage of the Month this month and I have been getting lots of new visitors today from Jennifer's feature at The Old Painted Cottage-I am sure that most of you already know her! You can click here to check it out.
I gathered up some of my tartans today to give you a little Scottish Flair .My husband's grandparents came from Scotland to Prince Edward Island almost one hundred years ago.
I am looking forward to donning those old skates and going skating on our pond-but I will have to wait until it freezes first!
Scottish oat cakes with raisins in my tartan cookie pail.
A Scottish santa wearing his tartan coat.
A Father Christmas that I framed from a Christmas gift bag from Hallmark a few years ago.
I love the tartan bag with 4 charming Father Christmas's.
I am joining French Country Cottage for Feathered Nest Friday and My Romantic Home for Show & Tell again today.
Have a wonderful day!
Carolyn

Hello, Carolyn
Your home is looking festive and I enjoyed today's Scottish post. I noticed the Nova Scotia tartan in amongst the others. With family in Cape Breton, it was bound to catch my eye!
Framing the gift bag Father Christmas was a clever idea, by the way.
Happy December!

Your have a beautiful home so very cozy. I'd love to join you with a cup of cocoa by the fire. I see you have a small enamel "soup" pot in one of your pictures. I have found 3 exact ones at my local thrift store, where did you get yours? I'm looking to find one more to make mine a set of four. Congrats on being Cottage of the Month!

I love the way you framed the Hallmark bag, very ingenious! As always, everything is festive and lovely.
i LOVE tartans!! and need to go decorate my porch!!
Hi Carolyn
I was so excited to see that Jennifer featured your home as the cottage of the month! It is the perfect Christmas home!!
I like this post too because my background is Scottish. Come to think of it I don't own one thing to represent my Scottish inheritance.
hugs, Rhondi
I was so excited when I checked Jennifer's "Cottage of the Month" and saw that it was your home. :-) I love your home, and especially at Christmas time.
I absolutely LOVE your Scottish Christmas decor. We'll be attending a Clan Gregor Society Christmas party on Saturday. Your Tartan accents are perfect. Love the ice skates and tartan throw, too.
Wishing your a very Merry Christmas.
