So there's two things this post could be about.
I'm drunk and don't know how to spell scotch. Or I'm loving my latest find.
Let's go with number 2.
Last year this time, I found a Skotch Kooler plaid cooler at a barn sale.
And I've used it pretty much ALL THE TIME since then.
Well, never as a cooler.
For example I used it in my A Vintage, Rustic, Industrial Holiday House Tour post.
It's just about perfect for holding a small Christmas tree.
So I was super stoked when I saw its little itty bitty cousin, the Skotch Jug, at an out-of-the-way antique mall yesterday.
It's a half-gallon size, maybe about 10 inches tall and I guess it's supposed to hold Kool-Aid and other liquid beverages.
Or flowers. Flowers work too!
I just realized that I didn't take any photos of it with the lid on. Anyhow, it has a lid with a little pour spout attached. Use your imaginations please.

Hi Pam!
I have been loving your Skotch cooler photos on Pinterest for MONTHS!
Thanks so much for sharing with all of us at the Tartan Parade this week.
Your vignettes are just wonderful!

darling! brings back memories!

Um, were we separated at birth? All the things you have, I have too! I got into sketch ages ago when I was buying for 5 bucks a pop. However, at the Country Living Fair they had the ice bucket! Never saw one before but I just saw one with 2 additional coolers on EBay. My problem is if one is good then 7 is better. Since we share a lot of the same interests, I love seeing your groupings and ideas! Keep 'em coming Sista!!!!
Pam
Have you seen the barbecue/grill? And the little ice cans (sort of like blue ice, I guess, but they look like little plaid cans)? So much more plaid goodness to collect, Sista!!!
Ginger
Yes! I have 2 of the ice cans. I've seen the grill, but it's a small fortune every time I see it. For some reason I don't like buying it unless I feel like I'm stealing it because it's so cheap. ( mainly because I'm cheap maybe?) I love the fact that they're made right here in Ohio.. So win win!!! Hurry up with some Christmas decor!!! I need some fresh ideas!!!

Alison

I grew up with a cooler like your large one! I still have it and I got a second one too. My family took it to every picnic and family reunion all of my childhood.
I will have to dig those out for Christmas. Thanks for the memories!
Blessings

Oh! That is adorable!! I printed the pic of your perfect little vignette. The jug, the mums, the PLAID, the green, squat basket, the creamy green gourds/pumpkins.....I want to frame it in my craft room! Once again you've made me want to move to Ohio, because I NEVER see the goodies you find here in the Cicago 'burbs!
Pam
I am so honored that you would want to print that out!!! You made my (cold, dreary Halloween) day!
chris aka monkey

Pam
You only see the things I find though. There are so many times I go out to a thrift store and come home empty handed!
