In this picture (right), I'm wearing an apron from Anthropologie one
my very favorite stores ever for aprons and housewares. And, they carry some of the
prettiest sundresses I've ever seen. |
| 3 more aprons from my mom. She’s a keeper. I know! |
I'm a big fan of gingham and have used it in one form or
another for Sweet & Simple since day one. My original "test"
packages had ric-rac and gingham bows. And so I thought one of these red gingham aprons would
be a perfect pop of color for an upcoming photo session for Sweet &
Simple. And then I thought why not share a little apron love?
I really like this company's aprons for the obvious vintage look/feel, the number of styles and the size options. Most aprons are one-size-fits-all. Although aprons aren't really fitted, it's nice to wear one gently sized. And the matching mother-daughter aprons are too much - some of the best I've seen.

Thinking of collecting vintage aprons? I only buy what I will wear or give as a gift. I tend to stick to the $6 - $10 range for vintage, though you can pay much more depending on the quality, condition, etc. For me, the apron must be in wearable condition (no stains or damage) and FIT me. If it is too tiny, I set it aside for someone else to enjoy. Wash your vintage aprons by hand or on the gentle cycle of your washing machine with a mild detergent and line dry and cool iron as necessary.
Vintage aprons are wonderful to give as gifts/party favors at a cookie exchange, gingerbread decorating party, bridal shower or other event where they might be appreciated, thought I do tend to give vintage inspired NEW aprons because one gal's "vintage" is another gal's "used."
Thanks for looking and I sure hope you enter the giveaway by commenting below.
