A Highland Fling

Looking Very Scottish

With Declan’s visit, we did some, if not enough, babyproofing of the house. One of the areas that was worked on was the computer room. One concern there were all of photographs that we had “inherited” from Harry and Bubs. They were all sitting out on the floor. Just before Declan arrived, all of these heirlooms were stuffed into the closet, if only to keep them safely out of his reach. Fastforward to yesterday, when Anne took it upon herself to really cleanout this closet. It had been way too long. In addition to a whole lot of cub scout and other stuff of a similar vintage, Anne unearthed the pictured wardrobe. The skirt is made from fabric of the Farquharson clan, her ancestral tartan. She made the skirt herself, using fabric that she had bought while visiting Scotland right after high school. The skirt was made in the maxi style, which was the fashion at the time. The red top was my mother’s that Anne also inherited. They make for a striking combination. Now I have to think of someplace to take her, where she can wear this outfit.
