Yes, I Know Halloween is Over...But

I think I might just have to wear a costume like this one day and scare the freckles off my husbands face.

And what inspired me to look at cleaning maid aprons?? Last night both of my kids were in bed at 7 pm. This normally means I get to have a break and breath and relax for a little bit. BUT not last night. I spent an hour cleaning and vacuuming and mopping.

If I was wearing this when my spouse arrived home I think he'd have a heart attack and could not accuse me of any wrong doings, ie. blogging... and being lazy.

Woe is me.

BTW. This apron is Circa 1890-1910. And made in U.S.A. The folks over at Premier Designs Historic Clothing have it for sale. Not that I am rushing to buy one any time soon. But could you imagine this as normal garb? Heh heh.

Modern Aprons Straight from the 70's

Good Day Apron Goddesses!

Here's a picture of some aprons I found that scream Farah Fawcett (may she rest in peace) and Burt Reynolds from some crazy 70's movie that never made it to the big screen.

Not only are they men's wear, but they are really a form of chap with leg ties. And I thought chaps were only used by horse people!

Hmmm. I am not quite sure about the spoon and fork in the pocket of the man's "chap-ron" but I am thinking if he does any sudden movement he will fillet himself.

Then I am pondering the fact that these models legs are more than three times the length of their upper body. But they are sporting the boot cut, extra wide flair, so it must be OK.


Did you figure out what the accessory labeled A is?

I think it is some kind of pot holder substituting as a side arm. I mean, it looks kind of gun-like to me. Maybe you can stash a sawed-off shot gun in that thing and if anybody gives you grief about the chap-pron you can cap 'em.

So, with the sun glinting off my feathered hair, I bid all you Apron Goddesses adieu!! What say you about these aprons? Am I a little too harsh with my critique of them?

Halloween Goddess Post Hallween

Miss Dot is at it again. Not only does she make spooktacular cupcakes, but she dresses up just as nicely for the occasion.

She dressed up as two of her favorite things Pinups and Zombies. Doesn't she make a beautiful Pinup Zombie? I think so.

Miss Dot is a lover of all things vintage which prompted her to post THIS regarding Suzie Homemaker. It is a hoot to watch and brings back memories of the the Easy Bake Oven of my youth (how I wish I had one). If you haven't picked up on her love of cupcakes check out her blog Miss Dot's Cupcake Spot where she shows us all what she is doing in her kitchen. If that isn't enough, check out her gallery where she shows us her cupcake creations. She has made a living out her her love for this tasty treat and she looks good doing it too. So go see Miss Dot and give her a shout!

Meet Atlanta from:

Life(ish)

"This one is of Me and my little cutie AKA "my partner in crime"! I made these aprons for both of us. I have a tiny little sickness when it comes cupcakes. One that I am in no hurry to cure. We wear these when she helps me make pancakes or even just her oatmeal. Any excuse to wear an apron =)

If life wasn't busy enough with a husband, children, and an Etsy shop Atalanta went back to school. School, late nights, lack of sleep, papers, mid-terms, finals, AND a family. Admiration for this apron addict ALL. THE. WAY! Atlanta we, here at TAG, wish you all the best in your collegiate journey.

For those of you who LOVE aprons and/or cupcakes you must check out her Etsy shop! It is called Cupcake Concubine. She has some lovely aprons, cupcake charms, and a few other things.

Special Giveaway from Aprons By Julie: Pick Your Favorite!!

Welcome Apron Goddesses!!!

Today we have a special treat since Julie from Aprons by Julie is sponsoring the giveaway of an apron of your choice from her fabulous store. Julie constructs beautiful aprons, they are well made, most are reversible, and her pattern combination's rock!! Aprons by Julie can be relied upon for superior quality and you will not be disappointed with your apron if you buy one!! So, if you have not been to her store lately you need to visit.

This lovely apron is the "Tickle Me Pink Sophia" full apron (to the left). It is my personal favorite from her collection. The fabric pattern has all my favorite colors and includes flowers so I have been stalking this one for a while. When my apron budget gets a little looser this one will be in my kitchen for sure.

The Sophia comes in mom and daughter sets and I know I will have to get one for my Ella too.

Since, I am showing all my favorites from Julie, here is my runner up favorite apron from her store: Adult Sunflowers in Blue and White-Shabby Chick.

I love sunflowers and fall leaves and the way Julie has paired the blue and white checkerboard with the yellow sunflower discs is wonderful. And do you want to bet this makes a woman's waste seem tiny, tiny, tiny??? I am thinking it is super flattering to the figure.
