Happy Plaidurday!
Last year, when I first learned about Plaidurday I was so excited!! I am Mad for Plaid! Plaid is my favorite color! And having a day to celebrate all things Plaid is such a great idea!
I thought it would be fun to give you a little House Tour of all things Plaid in Camp Paradise, our log cabin home.
Plaid throw pillows are one of the quickest ways to add lots of plaid to my decor. These vintage plaid tins are a favorite find!

I am also mad for plaid, although I do not have near the collection as you. Most of my plaid. Ones out at Christmas time. Especially love your vintage items. What I do have is the perfect plaid accessory; a Scottish terrier!
Debbee- That is so awesome!! I think a Scottish terrier would be the perfect addition for me!!! How precious!
