Homemaking: Vintage Kitchen Aprons



Works-For-Me-
Wednesday

Written by e-Mom. Follow me on Twitter

Take a good look at yourself in the mirror. What do you see? Sticky kid’s fingerprints, pet fur, and a long dribble from yesterday's raspberry mocha?

Mom’s job has its seamy, grimy, get down and gooey side, doesn't it? Even plugging away at the keyboard all day produces a need for a blouse change and a splash of clean water on the face before dinner.


CherriesNow if you’re a domestic diva, you probably already own two dozen retro-chic vintage aprons that are freshly laundered and ready to go. You cover up the mess-of-the-day, and greet your sweetie at the door with a big kiss. But let's face it, most smart modern women are too busy to implement such a nostalgic lifestyle.

But we should try sisters. We should really try.


So let me help you! I’m getting started, and you can too. I’ve assembled an online collection of vintage-style kitchen aprons that are too cute to pass up. Designed in vibrant colors, flirty patterns and figure flattering shapes, these visions from a bygone era are becoming the ultimate fashion accessory—and you can wear them anywhere in the house. Plus, they’re the perfect gift for your daughter or your favorite girlfriend.

Susannah Wesley, the mother of John and Charles, was brilliant. When life was crazy in her kitchen and all her children were swarming at her feet, she flipped her apron up over her head for private prayers. Drawing inspiration from this pastor's wife and homeschooling Mom of ten, I’ve named my new cyber store, Susannah’s Aprons.
I think she would smile.


Tie up your style!

Hi Emom! :) First of all, thank you for being faithful in visiting me even when I've been a slacker blogger this summer!

Those aprons are just darling! I must say, I've not been an apron wearer, though I always thought some of them were cute. But seeing these really makes me want to start...that is, if my husband doesn't think that means I need to bring him his pipe and slippers when I'm donning it...heehee
Honestly, I have messed up my clothes too many times to count in the kitchen, so I'm off to check out the collection!
Hugs,
~Tammy
