My New "Valet"
I once watched a show about a manor house in Scotland. For the life of me I can’t remember what manor it was, but both the master and the mistress of the house had a small upright dresser on wheels that their dresser/valet would put out what they would need for the day. I loved the idea and have looked for one in antique shops. I always thought that something like that would be nice for the few pieces of highland attire accessories I have.
Well I still have not found one yet, but I did find a little plastic rolling container that I can use for now. So here is my new plastic “valet“.
Here is my kilt collection, my new argyll jacket (now at the dry cleaners) and my sisters kilt skirt I made her. As you can see it fits in here perfectly.

With all the drawers closed and my shoes on top.

Top drawer: My bonnet, the clan banner I have in my position and Saltire.

Second drawer: Sporran, MacArthur Sash, Garters, Sigian Dubh, Kilt Pins/Sash Pins, Spare Belt Buckle, Gloves for when I am carrying the banner in parades.

Third drawer: Kilt Belt, Sporran Belts, Day Sporrans (in the back) and shoe polishing stuff (I love parade gloss!!)

Fourth drawer: Kilt hose!!

I like that I can roll it out to where I am getting ready. I use to have everything in a dresser drawer and I hated going back and forth from my mirror which is on the other side of the room.
I just thought I would share my new toy, it might not work for those who have a ton of accessories, but it works for what I have!

Sara,
Always good to hear from you, the organization it to die for. I only wish I could be so organized.

No w that is a great idea.
Normally I just keep everything in my suitcase ready for the next games or event.

Its great to see someone so organised, I'm with you on the Parade Gloss. I'd try to get a cotton back for your shoes, just to keep the dust off

Now I really feel like a slob.
