7 Good Reasons to Tie Up Your Style!
• You'll feel pretty
• You'll feel like smiling
• You'll feel more creative
• Your cooking will taste better
• Your kitchen will smell more inviting
• Your family will purr with contentment
• Your guests will thank you with love in their hearts


What's not to like? Recently, Christine at Fruit in Season talked to me about her new apron, "Blue Bubbles," one of the flirty retro-chic aprons at my second blog,
Susannah’s Aprons
.


Q. What do you like most about your new apron?

A. I love everything about the apron, but if I had to pick one my favorite thing about it is the flare at the bottom. If I had to pick TWO, the second thing would be the soothing and whimsical color palette. I feel more productive when I'm wearing it for some reason!

Q. When do you wear it?

A. I have one other apron (also from a blogger friend!) and I wear it most during family meal times and puttering around the kitchen. So this one will be used in a similar manner. I like to bake on the weekends for the coming week and I inevitably will get my clothes messy, so wearing aprons alleviates my mess!

Q. Would you buy an apron for someone you know as gift?


A. I would definitely buy one as a gift. A couple of people come to mind—my sister, and my blogging friend Elise from A Path Made Straight.

Thanks so much for your time, Christine! I hope you’ll stop by again soon. Meanwhile, enjoy "Blue Bubbles"
(now 17% off)
while you putter in your kitchen.


Aprons Make Great Gifts

I have several aprons that I just love...soo... I am making aprons for my daughters and daughter-in law for Christmas this year. So much fun to pick out the fabric and the style for each one's personality.
