Tartan Day 2025

                              
A beautiful day, with perfect weather for the annual Tartan Day celebration in Longmont, Colorado. 
So fun, and so thankful to spend time with my sister. There were more tents this year, which equals more temptations for buying, and more lasses in gorgeous gowns and more handsome laddies in kilts!  
           Mary Queen of Scots granted us an audience. 
              Our favorite faerie, Lemon Drop, came by creating magical bubbles which everyone, young and old, enjoyed. 


                      The Scottie dog rescue folks were on hand.
   I had to buy a little dragon  at the mountain mini shop.  A creative store that uses recycle material in a 3-D printer. 



Darla and Mark from Warp and Woolens demonstrated drop spindle spinning, floor loom weaving, and bobbin lace making. The lace was spectacular--what an underappreciated and nearly lost art. 

A lively parade had us all cheering, and a group photo rounded out the afternoon. 
Had so much fun, and then we went for ice cream, and a little thrift store shopping. A wonderful way to spend a Saturday.
