I've been in picture taking / documenting mode recently and thought I'd share pictures of my apron collection. And I would love to see pictures of y'alls collections! (I will also post pics of some other treasures too).

It was. There are 3 clubs within about 30 miles, and several times a year we get together. We try to have programs and do fun things, even tho we are a service club.

Today our ladies club joined with another club nearby, for a luncheon, we were to wear aprons. I wore one of my mother-in-law's from the 40's, my mother wore one that I had made her for Christmas. There were new ones, old ones, funny ones, elegant ones, dressy ones, and cute ones. A poem about Grandmother's Apron was read by a woman wearing a linen apron with red piping and hand applique and embroidery. It was gorgeous. The door prizes were vintage smocked gingham aprons. A member of the other club had a display of irons and books about aprons. It was very interesting.

Ha! in my dreams, Meadowlark! I've yet to be visited by the digital camera fairy. If I had, some of those wouldn't have been so off centered, cause I would've been able to view and delete!

Clare, sounds beauuuuutiful! Be sure to post pics when your project is completed! Hey, if a line is above the ground and securely tied and supports clothes it is a clothesline in my books! All it needs is sun and breezes! Your pics are so nice, did you get a digital camera?

It's funny that you should say that, Meadowlark, regarding the clothesline. True confession time: That is not a real clothesline, it's a makeshift one attached to a hook in front of my french doors and the other end attached to the umbrella in my outdoor table!  I have my ideal clothesline/ outdoor retreat room all mapped out in my head. Just trying to figure out if I can build it myself! It will be a pergola that is square, have a daybed in it, my old clawfoot bathtub filled with flowers, some old recycled shutters and windows hanging from the beams, and some trumpet vine and climbing roses on top for shade... and bolts attached to the beams for detachable clotheslines when I want to hang my clothes out!

Love them all Clare! My fav's are the red floral and checked one from collection 6, and the red check one from #3 that has a tomato or something on it?? There is something so sweet and good about aprons hanging on a clothesline!

I don't have any at the moment. Had to leave a lot behind when we moved to SLC, but I'm enjoying seeing everybody else's. I feel like the pioneer woman who had to abandon things along the way West.

Your aprons are great. I love the full coverage ones.I love the one with the patch work on it. Never seen that before. I have been taking pictures of my aprons as well. Saw the movie "THe greatest game ever played" yesterday. The Mom had a couple of great aprons on. I love the feeling that aprons evoke. Duty, yet femininty.

It was similar I think! I was laughing because just as I was about to buy it, someone else snapped it up! I would have been happy to find out it was you!!
