Giveaway of Two Books from The Supreme Apron Goddess Herself: EllynAnne Geisel

It's Monday morning and time for the next fabulous giveaway at TAG. This week I can offer you ladies (and gentlemen-Ron and HC) your own personal copy of The Kitchen Linens Book or The Apron Book, both penned by EllynAnne Geisel, the ultimate Apron Goddess. Each book is packed full of wonderful pictures and accompanying stories. With receipes, patterns and words of apron wisdom you will be happy looking through either book!

EllynAnne had not wore an apron until 1999 when she was writing an article about a vintage apron. But after her awakening to the history of "the apron" she became THE Apron Goddess though her research about them and by collecting vintage aprons. EllynAnne has over 400 aprons in her collection!!

The Apron Book is wonderful to look at with it's many color photographs of aprons. It features new and vintage apron styles so you can catch up on your American apron history. Also, included in this book are stories and pictures from other "Apron Goddesses. I wrote up a full report on this book HERE.

The Kitchen Linens book gives us an up-close look at tablecloths, dishtowels, and napkins with details and histories as fine as the stories themselves. Embroidered or hemstitched, linens or oilcloths–these are the fabrics and the memories of our mothers and grandmothers. And each one has an endearing story and a vivid history.

This giveaway closes Saturday, April 11th at midnight and TWO winners will be drawn, one for each book.

To enter the giveaway for one of these books visit EllynAnne's blog site Apron Memories and say hi to her OR visit The Apron Memories web site OR take a look at the aprons EllynAnne has for sale. Simply visit her links and come back and make a comment about whatever you like from the world of EllynAnne! Also, please indicate your preference for either book. The first drawn winner gets the book on which they comment.

For five extra entries into the drawing blog about this giveaway on your site.

For ten additional entries in the book drawing, send me a photo of you or a family member wearing your apron and a few words about your apron attitude. I will use it for a write up in future weeks about you and your blog!

Good Luck!
