Posted - Sep 01 2015 : 10:23:09 AM I do have some boards on Pinterest, however I don't spend a lot of time there. Because I've made hundreds and hundreds (yes, literally) of aprons and sold them I call myself an "Apronista" and have an "Apronista" board. Most of my pins there are aprons I made myself, and some of what I call my "Linens and Lace Collage" aprons are very popular for folks to re-pin.
What makes me laugh, is every now and then I get an email from Pinterest telling me they've found some pins I might be interested in for my "Apronista" board. Some of those pins they found are my own pins from my "Apronista" board of aprons I made . . . ha, ha, ha! ![](icons/icon_smile_big.gif) ![](icons/icon_smile_big.gif) ![](icons/icon_smile_big.gif)

Posted - Sep 05 2015 : 3:04:00 PM She has sooooooo much stuff. And most is reasonably priced. I got a Carol Little mixed-crocheted-piece sweater - multi color - for $10. I thought that was a great buy. I know it is commercially made, but it is a great cover-up for over a tank top. See the picture. I put a white blouse on the hanger so I could show the front and the back. I love some of the combinations made from crocheted linens. They sell in the antique building at the flea market for $100 and up.![](http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/Snitz/Images/2015/09/2015-09-05_161416(1).jpg?v 21112413) ![](http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/Snitz/Images/2015/09/2015-09-05_161427.jpg?v 21978759)

Posted - Sep 04 2015 : 4:26:43 PM At the First Monday Trade Days in Canton, Texas, there is a lady who sells antique linens. She has bins and bins of tablecloths, aprons, crocheted doilies, embroidered items, pillowcases, and bedding (shams, bedskirts, etc); stacks of quilts (starting at $3.50); other clothing reasonable priced. She also sells wedding and prom-type dresses for $10 (and some look hardly used) - great for costumes and some for a wedding. This is where today I got an apple and strawberry tablecloth to use to make a few aprons for our September Apple Festival. It takes a long time to go through all the bins but you can get some good deals. I love looking through her stuff every time I go to the Trade Days.

Posted - Sep 04 2015 : 10:59:55 AM Yes, Linda, and there can be a LOT of sewing to secure cut edges, etc. Sewing a crocheted doily on takes a lot of sewing too! I have enjoyed making them and customers who have bought them LOVE them! CJ

Posted - Sep 02 2015 : 6:04:49 PM They look time consuming. You have to decide where each doily or piece of lace is going. Very beautiful!
