Vintage Apron #10

This is the last apron that I’ll be posting for awhile. It’s my favorite.

There are pockets with keyhole details, rickrack and bows.

It has scalloped edges, with more rickrack!

The color scheme is that mid-century combination of teal, pink, green, grey and black. I love the sketchy, energetic quality of the roosters, hens and chicks.

As a whole, it is as sweet as can be.

I hope that you’ve enjoyed viewing my apron collection as much as I’ve enjoyed sharing it. Now it’s time to tie those apron strings and get to work in the kitchen! Let’s get baking – with eggs!

Vintage Apron #9

This apron combines flirty gauze with practical cotton, in a pattern that’s all about chickens and working farms.

What I love the most about it, is that although there’s a crowing rooster, it’s the hens that take center stage.

Those hens look like they have a story to tell. I wonder what it is?

Vintage Apron #8

This color scheme is similar to Vintage Apron # 4: mid-century pink, turquoise, grey and black.

But even with those roosters (on small, starred balls, what’s with that?) the scalloped pink trim makes this number somehow flirty and feminine.

I have twenty pies to bake in the next two weeks for my Pie Party. I’ve already rolled out and frozen 16 pie crusts, but since some of the pies have top and bottom crusts, I still need to make 4 more, and a few graham cracker crusts, too. Time to tie on the apron and get to work.

Vintage Apron #6

It’s the details on this apron that make me happy.

Are these vegetables beets? No matter what they are, I can imagine them singing and dancing in the kitchen.

I want to plant this heart tree in my backyard.

And I’d invite this industrious and cheerful mid-century hen to join my flock!

Those are my favorite details on this apron, but there are more. Does wearing such an apron put happiness into one’s cooking? I like to think so.
