Tiny McBeth Tartan Pin Cushion

I am a tartan lover. So when I discovered tartanware years ago, you can just imagine how elated I was! Tartanware is the name given to wood objects covered in tartan papers and sold as Scottish souvenirs. Scotland has always drawn tourists because of the natural beauty of the area. This sweet tiny pincushion has a wood base covered in MacBeth tartan paper, with a black stripe and applied gold detail on a portion. The pincushion itself is beautifully worn, and threadbare – once being velvet. This little beauty is a true gem!
