New Ideas

Wow!!! First I'd like to say thanks so much for the participation over at the Etsy Cottage Style Blog..Market Monday. There are well over 50 vendors linked to the blog. We'd thought a few of you'd join in, but this is great. It is definately going to be a monthly event. Remember this market begins on Monday, but we stay all week! So keep coming back or join on in...things change daily.


I have a new Etsy Site...Apronation....It's a all aprons. Vintage and vintage inspired designs. It's where one will be able to show off her apronature, that is her, apronistics. Are you an elegant entertainer. The table is fully set for a 5 course dinner....only the finest cut crystal and fine china?....Then this is apronistically for you...

This buttercream organza is from the 1930's. It has flocked scallops, as well, as flocking creating the botanical print. The glitter that outlines the flowers and created buds on the foliage is original. Once a bright gold, the glitter has taken on a golden copper patina with age. I embellished with vintage 1940 floral motif buttons. Couldn't you imagine the white lace dress under this apron accented by pearls, a little gold, and of course some diamonds...ringing a bell for the next course.

Or, when you're hosting the next luncheon, you want to be comfortable, but look dressy.....how about those trusty black flats, a pair of black capris, a black tee with a lightweight black shirt, accenting it all with this....

  a 1940's tablecloth apron with a wonderful carnation, fern fronds, and black lattice design. I hand-embroidered some of the ferns and carnations to make them pop. I've also shown the Baking Cookbooklet published by 'Carnation' Milk Co. With ads from the Burns and Allen Show. Remember, all my aprons come with a vintage cookbook or other relating vintage reading material.

You're having a few friends over for a little get-together? Well, how about setting a little table on the patio with this vintage

1940's Rose Bouquet tablecloth,

 filling these with refreshing lemonade

and donning this matching 1940's

apron. The red and white sheer fabric pop with vintage rick-rack and rose appliques created by using cut-outs of roses from a matching tablecloth that was ruined.

Whether you're elegant and formal in style, fun and classic, or informal and whimsical there is an apron that fits you apronistically and shows your apronature!
