Show and Tell










I had these aprons for awhile now, they belonged to my mother. I remember her wearing some of them at holiday time. She was such a pretty woman and I loved to see her get dressed up with her pretty things. I have no idea how long she had these, I am guessing about 30-40 years.

The pretty detail of the embroidery and the use of the thin material. And I love the handkerchiefs, I remember her getting these for a gift from one of her church friends. I sometimes use them as doilies. 

Also, I found a Christmas trumpet angel without the trumpet. I still like it, it's as imperfect as I am.

That is so nice that you have those aprons from your mom, they are very nice, what a great reminder you have of her from when she was cooking for your family.

Hi Glenda,
Here's a smile for you. My boy, age 6 is on my lap and said, "Hey Mom, is that angel blowing spitwads?"

Ya gotta love boys.

How in the world did I miss this post! Thanks for pointing it out to me. I love them. I just got a few new ones, well old but new to me, from eBay. I just love them.

Something so Donna Reed about them.
