I've been so tickled to see other people as equally as in love with vintage aprons as I am. Recently, Stephanie at Mama Unraveled 2 shared one of her beauties. And just this week, Amy over at Angry Chicken posted her beautiful collection of aprons. And I just stumbled on this book at Amazon, which I hope to check out soon. Most of mine come from my grandmother and great grandmother, which for a sentimental gal like myself, is such a treat. I'll show pics of my favorites, and then a group one at the end to save this post from become nightmarishly long.
Love this black and white one with those great retro "star" shapes.
And polka dots are so freakin cool.
This one's wild--it was made by my great grandmother as a child, obviously learning to do needlepoint (I LOVE the "mistakes").
The shape on this one is really fun to wear.
I love the peekaboo pocket on this one.
Isn't this kite one, um ...weird?
And here's the rest of them. The browns on the bottom are a bit much for me to actually wear (am I remembering the 70's perhaps?), but I do like them anyway. Oh yeah, and there are the two that I got last weekend here.
And please forgive the terrible picture quality on this one it won't stop raining here!), but I wanted to show how I've been storing/displaying the aprons. I was so sad to keep them in drawers for years (I mean, you can only wear ONE at a time, right?), so finally I started keeping them out and on pegs in the kitchen like this. I move them around once in a while so I get to see them all.
