Aprons from a Yard Sale

Last Friday Mom and I went

out to a local neighborhood to check

out many yard sales. It was fun.

Sure, it would have been better had I

felt like myself...but...still.

When I walk up to a yard sale I admit

that I check out the owner of the home.

What kind of person might they be.

You meet some very interesting people

sometimes. I love to strike up conversations

when you get lucky like that.

This was the case at one sale we visited.

The woman was retired.

She was a very refined lady.

An artist with paintings on display.

Felted crafts.

And some very cute aprons.

For $1 each.

We took three.

Two for our house.

One for Mom!

I chose this floral in browns and oranges.

Admittedly not my favorite colors but there

was just something about it...

it was large.

That is necessary.

But it is also very comforting and sweet.

I love the long graceful apron

strings. They make a bow with

fabric to spare.

My favorite for "cute factor" is this

sweet little purple apron.

I picked it up for Chelsea.

I'll admit that it is a direct

result of my blogging habit that

I would even notice aprons.

That, and a wee bit of an addiction

to Grace Livingston Hill books as a

teenager.

Thanks to those of you who post

about living simply, enjoying

the process of working in the kitchen

and keeping our homes.

You do make a difference.

I am proof of that.
