The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book: Tartan
Welcome to December’s Good Buy/Good-Bye Book featuring all things Tartan (or plaid, checked, checkered, etc.) I have always loved plaids and tartans. It is one of my favorite pattern types because you can find it in countless different color combinations, sizes, and fabrics. Not only do I adore tartan clothing, I also love plaid in home decor items. But it doesn’t appear much in my home because, no matter how much I adore plaid, my husband absolutely despises it. He attributes his distaste for the pattern to having been “forced to wear plaid shirts as a child”. I guess he probably already hated plaid back then since he had to be “forced” to…

But our vehicles are just as resilient as we are to this crazy weather so I know she’ll be okay. Then we had a few warm rainy…
