APRON MEMORIES
About my new book...."The Apron Book"I am just so excited about this book......
as I was reading through it.......
My heart was filled with wonderful memories.
I went to the cedar chest (that was once my parents) and took a trip down memory lane....
Wait, I would love for you to join me on this trip..........so lets get going......
First I came across an small apron that my mother-in-law had made for our daughter when she was about 3 yrs old (she will be 38 Saturday the 12th), I even found a small piece of crayon still in one of the little pockets.
Then I came across an apron I had made our daughter when she was about 5 yrs old, it also had little pockets for crayons, pencils, small notepad and whatever else she wanted to put in them. You can tell I was not an experienced seamstress then, I did get better as the years went on.
Last but not least.........I found the little apron I made when I was about 8 yrs old and was in a Brownie Troop (kind of like Girl Scouts). This apron is made of domestic fabric and I decorated it with crayons and markers and even put my initials on it, as you can see on the waist band. This was my first sewing project.........Now that was a long long time ago!
Wow! What a trip and I am glad you came along..............such sweet memories to hold on to.
God Bless

Aprons are wonderful, aren't they? I don't recall my mother wearing them, but my Grandma sure did!
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful that you still have those - especially the one you made as a child!

Oh Linda they are all so darling. You should display them somehow.
ReplyDeleteOh that is just too cute! I especially liked that you found a crayon piece in your daughter's pocket! Oh, they could be great little framed art...

Loving all the sweet comments. It seems we all think a lot a like....Great minds working together! This morning I got up and told my hubby that I was going to frame the little apron that his mother made for our daughter to give to her for her B-day because it was her FIRST one. Our daughter to this day still wears aprons when she cooks.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for stopping by!
These are really so sweet. Isn't it nice to find something happy. Now I want to make another apron.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by today. I did forget about the "settee." LOLOL!!! So much charm in those names just like the charm of these beautiful aprons. I love aprons and tablecloths! They are the heart of the kitchen. Thanks for sharing.
Have you looked at Somerset Studio's "Apronology" publication? I saw it yesterday at Barnes and Noble. Lots of apron eye candy!!
Blessings,
