  1. I love plaid!! It may be “in” this year but I think it’s timeless! I really like the idea of covering your books — Is that paper or fabric?

    1. Hi Marisa. The blog that I pulled this idea from says that it’s paper that they wrapped the books in and applied ModPodge to. You’re right – it’s hard to tell from the photo if it’s paper or fabric. And I agree with you – plaid is timeless.

    I love plaid during the Christmas season. Those sheep are so funny!

    1. I thought so too, Penny. What a crazy idea! Wonder if anyone really did that.

  3. I love touches of plaid, Suzy! It is such a classic and timeless pattern. My hubby has been noticing all of the plaid shirts for men in department stores recently. In fact, he bought several yesterday! It has emerged as a hot fashion trend this season; but, it’s always been in style!

    1. You’re right, Shenita – plaid is one of the few classics that never seems to go out of style. I’m old enough to remember the old flannel plaid shirts from the 70’s. They were a hot item!

  4. I love plaid too! I love all these ideas, especially the table lamp! So cute!

    1. Thanks for stopping by, Maria. Glad to “meet” another plaid lover!

  5. Love that plaid lampshade! Oh, and those sheep too!

    1. I never knew that I wanted some sheep until I saw those! ;-P
