#3 of the Five Of My Favorite Things - Vintage Aprons

I love old vintage aprons and the fabrics they are made of. These old kitchen amenities bring back memories of my Grandmothers and Mother wearing them as they prepared our meals. I am sure each one could tell a heartfelt story if they could. Here is a selection of my red, blue and white ones.
They all hang in my laundry room on an old chippy green paint towel rack.
On the end is a vintage child's apron and next to that is a darling Scotty Dog apron that I purchased from Patricia several years ago. I also spy the cute bag holder that Karen made!!

This sweetie pie is on the other end - love those old Dutch designs!

Wishing you all a wonderful start to a new week. Be sure to stop back by on the 23rd to enter for a drawing that I am having to celebrate my first year of blogging.

I love LOVE LoVE aprons, love them, make them, sell them and wear them every single time I craft or cook! Mine are ruffly and roses and shabby chic, but I absolutely adore the old vintage ones with 40s and 50s decor on them. Where do you get them, sweetpea!! I used to live in Hayward. Where are you? We were just there visiting our daughter.
Smoochies,
Connie

Your collection of aprons are wonderful. This is one of the few things that I don't collect. I love them but don't have just the right place to display them. Have a wonderful night.

Hi Becky!
I remember that apron!! It's one of those one of a kind that a perons doesn't forget. I guess it must be because it has the cutest Scottie on it. What a great way to display them all. They look beautiful!

Hi Becky,
I am so glad you found me from LeAnn's (that sweetie pie) old blog. Isn't it great about her new one? Yay!

Well, I couldn't have stopped by on a better day. I love all these vintage aprons and don't know which is my favorite, but I do love all things with dogs. They so remind me of my great-grandmas and my grandmas - ooh and I think I can even smell some custard in the oven.

Glad to have found you back. Off to take a look around.

Love the vintage aprons--I purchased a supply kit from artsy mama that also included a vintage apron and it started me thinkin' about collecting them!
