Vintage Aprons

It's laundry day...sunny and breezy...a perfect time to hang out some of my vintage aprons to dry in the sun.

I can't resist vintage aprons...they are so colorful and bring back memories of days with my mother and grandmothers when I was a girl.

In the 1950's, our mothers assigned different days of the week for different household chores...Monday was washing day, Tuesday was ironing day, and so on. I'm so glad that our roles are not so predetermined anymore and that I can decide when I feel like doing household chores (and when I don't).

This apron looks like a workhorse, doesn't it? My grandmother would have worn one like this. With as much wear as this apron took, it still looks cute with its green rick rack and heart-shaped pockets.

I found this apron for 50 cents at a yard sale recently...love all the layers of fabrics in it.

More rick-rack...the iconoclastic vintage sewing trim.

Here is a vintage "cocktail apron" with pockets for tips (?), complaints, suggestions and compliments.
Note: If one of my guests placed a complaint or suggestion in my apron pocket after I'd cleaned and cooked all day, I'd have a humble suggestion for them:  How about finding someplace else to eat?

Don't the colors in this apron just scream "vintage"? My mother had appliances this color in her kitchen in Connecticut in the early 60's.

I bought this little child's apron on our trip to Pennsylvania...just the right size for my grandaughter to wear when she gets old enough to bake with me.

Beautiful day...aprons drying in the sun...Life is Good!
