Flea Market Friday: I am an Apron Goddess!

I do believe it is the first time I have ever been called a goddess of anything! I'm usually up to my elbows in dishwater, or bathwater, or sandbox sand... But I clean up pretty good!

As befitting an Apron Goddess, this morning at a yard sale I picked up a bunch of vintage aprons. (Don't hate me- I think they were 20 cents apiece!)

I happened to be wearing a vintage waitress-style dress which I am thrilled to be finally able to fit into. It was one of those "if I lose 10 pounds, I'll be able to get into this" purchases that sat in my closet for a loooong time! So we snapped a few photos of some of the new acquisitions. (The photographer was my son, the Apron God Jr., so forgive me if the photos are a bit crooked & awkward!)

The first is a vintage rayon apron. I don't think I've ever seen a rayon apron- I can't think this will be much practical use, since the fabric is so light- but it's cute.



This is my favorite, a printed & pieced cotton apron.

Don't I look like all I need is an order pad and a name tag that says "Betty"? ;)

I have a very large collection of vintage aprons, including several feedsack cloth full aprons from the 1930s. I wear them when I am doing housework or cooking, which pretty much seems to be all the time...

I know many of you probably already visit my friends over at The Apron Goddesses, but if you haven't been there, check them out, and see yours truly!
