aprons for sale...



aprons for sale... i feel like the town crier! but, these aprons are worth "crying" over! i am about half way through with listing them. it has been quite an ordeal...mending, soaking, washing, drying, ironing, taking photos - why oh why! do i do this - because i love it - remind me again! sometimes it is overwhelming! but, i do love the hunt and the feeling of satisfaction of rescuing these vintage textiles and sending them off to new homes where they will be used and loved. here are the ones i have listed so far! hope y'all enjoy the rest of your weekend! xx c

Vintage Apron Fetish

Oh My! Just when I think I have gotten my vintage textile fix, I get into something new...like these vintage aprons and I am in love all over again. I recently purchased about 60 vintage aprons, yes, I said 60! There is nothing like living large! LOL!! I have most of them washed, except the ones I have to mend. So now my laundry baskets are fluffed to the ceiling with aprons waiting to be ironed. I don't really like ironing, but I like how crisp and pretty my iron makes things, so away I go and this is what I have done so far....



















Most of these were made by homemakers long ago - I love the variety of colors, patterns and designs - they show the personality of the gals who made them. Some are for sale in my shop and some are in my kitchen drawer - until next time :-) and thanks for stopping in!
