Hi, I'm back from my break! I had a wonderful visit with my mom and dad. They left this
morning and I miss them already. It's hard to live so far away from those you love.
morning and I miss them already. It's hard to live so far away from those you love.
While I was gone, my gorgeous apron arrived from Zita and I am so excited to show it off
to you. Zita started with a vintage apron base in the sweetest shade of pale pink with tiny
lace trim. She added the perfect bits and bobs to create this vision of beauty just for me:

I love that Zita used an apron that was sheer because you can still read all of the stencils
on Tallulah Belle through the apron. The top is trimmed out with lace, gorgeous gathered
velvet ribbon and a string of pearl trim. And a pretty millinery flower tied up with a bow

Zita used the velvet trim on the pocket top too, and added the most beautiful vintage pin.
It looks so very sweet, I wish you could see it in person:
As if my wonderful apron weren't enough of a treat, Zita also sent me these:
Isn't that a yummy collection of goodies? I thought everything looked so pretty sitting on
the plate, that I have it just like that on one of my tables:

That is one beautiful apron. I am really starting to like to see all of those lovely aprons. All so different, yet all with that same basic foundation. And you got some very lovely little extra´s too.
Have a nice week!
Welcome back, Lori and what a wonderful bunch of goodies indeed. The apron is beautiful!
It is so difficult to live so far away from family. My Mom lives many miles away too, as well as many of my siblings. I am so glad you had such a nice visit! I just recently have been blessed to have my brother near me. Yeah!
Stay Cozy, Lori,
Carrie
Too bad your mom and dad had to leave already, the moment of saying goodbye always comes too soon with them I guess, but I'm glad you are back again! So every coin has two sides, always!
What fun this apron swap. I love each and every apron! And the pink saucer filled with goodies is darling too. Have a nice day!
You make a girl want to retire her glue gun and take up sewing! These aprons were such a testament to your generosity and sincere passion for creativity. What inspiration!
Zita's added surprises on the plate,was the prefect lil grouping.
This was the first apron swap that I've heard of. Had you girls done this before? I'd love to see the other aprons. Was there a link to see the participants at Heathers or Stephenie's blog?
Thanks for showing yours!!
Sweet wishes,
Lori... The apron is so beautiful an sweet! So vintage! I love the other goodies also, how thoughtful is this swap... Wonderful
Hugs,
Yvette
