the great wall of scotties

For quite some time I have been collecting vintage pictures and vintage motto prints of Scottie dogs and other terriers. Some have been gifts from sweet friends, but most have been purchased on eBay, ETSY and at antique stores. There are many still that need to make it onto the “Great Wall of Scotties”, but for now, this is a healthy start.

A few of my favorite artists are Morgan Dennis and Lucy Dawson. You can find these prints and mottos from around 20.00 – 45.00.

    I have loved them for years (and they are many). Fiona and Dugs are so cute. They must feel at home going up the stairs and seeing their relatives all over the wall...sandi

And I still am enjoying my precious little pillow you made for me with the little Scottie button on it. I love your wall of scotties. It is wonderful. I will have to be on the lookout for a scottie print. You never now when you might run up on something like that out junkin'. Thanks for sharing. Love & blessings from NC!

  26. You have a wonderful collection! Scottie art just never loses its charm. Your staircase is the perfect place for displaying them. One thing my home lacks is wall space. I will have to admire your collection!
    Missing you, dear Becky!

  30. When I saw your title, I couldn't imagine what it meant; I pictured Hadrian's wall, all scotties end to end!
    Have a happy day!
    I had a scottie friend named Robert the Bruce. We all called him 'Robbie'.

  31. They are so sweet! I have a wee bit of Cairn art, but it could easily slide over to 'collection'!

  32. Oh, they are all so cute! I started collecting the cottage prints because of your collection. :) Boy, are they hard to find! Of course you have done a fantastic job of displaying your scotties. The staircase is perfect. :)

  35. Becky,

    I love it! The Scottie is such an adorable breed. It's going to be a hard to decide when and if I get another dog. I dearly loved my Boxer and miss him terribly. I always said there could never be another breed for me but your Scotties may have changed my mind. ; )
    Blessings

  38. This is wonderful.. give me your address and when you will be out of town! lol... No, really I can't think of a better person to have these wonderful pictures and share them with us. (literally) Love that you make other people smile at the puppies that some of us see every day.. and not always with an approving smile. Thanks.
