Apron Love



This is a purely hypothetical question, but if you could only collect one thing, what would it be?  I would be hard pressed to come up with just one category.  If I look at my stash, it seems that I have a thing for vintage aprons.  It doesn't matter the size, I love them all, big OR small.  The newest addition to my collection is these mini bottle aprons.  I found them on ebay and the asking price seemed too high.  I saw there was a "make an offer" option with this listing and that is what I did. Within a few hours, the seller had accepted my offer and they were on their way to me.  I love these little aprons!  Wouldn't they make an adorable wine bottle wrap for a hostess gift or a cute dish soap bottle cover in a vintage kitchen?








I knew I had "won" four of these aprons with my ebay purchase, but I could only find three when I went to photograph them.  I guess with a five year old in the house, you never know where your vintage finds are going to end up!



So, if you could only collect one thing, what would it be?

  4. Ohh! Adorable aprons! I have a thing for really old books, so that's what I'm collecting. But they have to be something that is worth reading as well, not just for decorating. Although, I've never had the chance to read any of my vintage books except for Wuthering Heights and my Spurgeon devotional.

  5. I'd collect dog related things. More specific? Beagles. And my husband thanks me for mostly limiting my collection to Beagles, since that means our house is not overrun with dog books and collectibles!

  6. If I could only collect one thing, it would be vintage dishes. Hard decision!
