Monday Marketplace #6 and a Winner


Hard to believe Easter is this week. Are you ready? Even though I don't have little ones to plan a basket for, I have a bunch of big kids that love their sugar free Easter candy, so that's on my list for the week. I want to  try to find some flowers and get started with my containers on the deck. Plus I feel a sunporch quilt swap coming, so that's on my agenda too.

OK, so let's get this Monday morning rollin' with some links from last week.

Looking Thru Plaid Colored Glasses

I've never known a time in my life 
when I wasn't in love with plaid...
(ahhh...always and forever)


and because it is ageless and always in style
I use it as an accent all over my home.

Small accessories such as candy and shortbread tins,


 lot's of these snuggly blankets that I've collected,



They mostly hang out on my sunporch in the cooler months









Love them for the Christmas Season



so do my kitty girls;
nothing like curling up in a warm blanket on a chilly afternoon.



lots of fun vintage accent goodies



(ohmygosh, I love my old traincase!)


My sis made these wonderful pillows for me this last Christmas





adding to the "plaid-fest" that I had going on in my Dining Room



Once upon a time
I've been known to sport some of these...



and a few (OK...several) decades ago one of these...



which now I would be happy looking like this.




Currently you'll find me slightly obsessed over this particular plaid...





But if you ever doubt my love for plaid
then you just have to see this,
 and know that my wedding was...


it's coming...


yes...


it was...



PLAID!!!



uh huh... a Christmas wedding
a long.time.ago...


All my bridesmaids,
tablesettings,
ribbons and bows.
And if they would have had plaid cumberbuns for the guys 
they would have worn them..
oh yes...they would have!



I'm joining in with the blog hop going on now over at
for



Can't get too much of the stuff!!
