Wasn't there a picture in MJ's book of a vintage apron tied to the lid of an old enameled pot and displayed(I think on a plate rack - the book is at home and I'm at work) on the wall?

I have an old coat rack with about 6 hooks on it that i hang some on.. & then i have some more rolled up & stacked on the top shelf of the same rack. this looks really pretty on a wall in the kitchen too..

Sherone,
I bought 3 of those unfinished wood plaques that are about 6" wide($1.00 from local craft store). I painted them & then I decoupaged the front with victorian tea cups & lace (formaly Hallmark giftwrap). Then I put 2 hooks in each plaque, I loosely knot the ties of my aprons & hang from the hooks. I can display 6 aprons(2 pr plaque). The rest of my aprons are stored in hat type boxes that I bought @ the local craft store. I include 1-2 hankies filled w/lavender & tied w/ribbon to keep moths out. Now the fun part, when the mood strikes I just switch aprons from the hat box to display.

Ive seen them also tied as "skirts" around barstools in a kitchen. I used some of mine as curtains, but didnt cut them up. Just tied them right to the curtain rod and loved how it looked.

you don't have to cut them up to make curtains out of them .. simply string them across the top of your window.

These are great ideas - I am going to have to get my aprons out, give 'em a good ironing and put them on display!!! I wear one almost everyday, but I have some darling ones that just don't get seen as often as they should.
XOXO, Libbie
