Apron goodness...
Sorry to have been so negligent, fellow Apronistas-between the fires out here in California, and Eren relishing a much-needed visit from her darling husband, we have been a couple of busy mamas...we are starting a new weekly feature called "Apron Goodness", and it will just be fun, informative, or interesting links to aprons all over. PLUS, if you want to participate, email us or comment with the link to yours or someone else's site, and we will try to get it up the following week!
First off, I want to let you know that next week we will be giving away a Heavenly Hostess Apron right here! Just in time for the Holiday season, Cynthia is giving away a Holiday Hostess Apron PLUS a secret goodie we will reveal next week. So stop by on Monday for all the details!
Just FYI- you still have another week to get your local pride Aprons over to Angry Chicken for this month's Tie One On Project. If you really want to swoon, check out the collection of all the Tie One On Galleries.
Next, we have the absolute pleasure to be welcoming EllynAnne Geisel to our little site as a contributor. She will be posting periodically as well as writing on her own blog that I'm helping her set up. I can't wait to see what this Apronista has to share with us!
Check out Joyful Abode's Swoon-worthy collection of Vintage Aprons for sale...SO adorable!
Then, this morning I came across this cute little site written by Amanda, who has a shop called Butterfly Blue on Etsy...she has a charming collection of aprons, and links to tutorials and patterns.
This is an interesting article on how wearing Aprons helps us "dress" for the parts we play in the home...
On that note, I have a question for you, fellow Apronistas...do you actually WEAR aprons on a daily basis? Do you have different Aprons for different tasks? Ever since I made that apron inspired by Liz's Everyday Apron (what I am choosing to call mine anyway... :) ), I find myself wearing it ALMOST every day, since I can tuck my phone(email/lifeline device) into one pocket, a little notebook, a pen, my keys if we go somewhere, my wallet, etc...plus I can tuck a towel in the waistband if I am cooking for wiping my hands...which seems to stay in there all day as well-comes in handy for wiping dirty little hands too!
















8 Apronistas:
I love your website so much! I have an apron blog that I'd love to share with you, I track down adorable aprons and post them each day.

I wear an apron any time I cook or bake---it saves my clothes, for sure!
i find i tend to use certain aprons for certain tasks.
i have one thats very absorbant so i like it for when i do the dishes (living without a dishwasher so lots of water gets splashed about).
i have another multicolored one i like to use for cooking because if i splatter something on it it blends in. lol
then i have the one made out of cool hip material (at least i think so... lol) that i like to wear out.
Great links! And, yes, I do wear an apron every day ... I usually put in on in the morning as part of getting dressed, and it only comes off when I leave the house. Though I'm thinking of making one for wearing out and about ... an apron with some nice pockets would be a lot more useful than a black hole of a purse LOL!
Thanks for mentioning my site! I was thinking today I would make a post of apron related blogs, and your will definitely be on there!
In the restaurant business I used to wear the bib aprons all the time. I have gotten away from it since I have been home. Time to go back to what worked. I loved the Hollywood black bib.
Thanks for hosting.

Thank you for mentioning my site! I have yours linked in my blogroll and read your posts in bloglines.
I was wondering what I needed to do to be listed in the side bars though (More apronistas and places to buy aprons). Thanks!
