DON'T YOU LOVE VINTAGE APRONS?

 A little while back, I found a treasure-trove of vintage 1970's aprons and just now seeing a vintage apron hung on the back of a kitchen door of a restored bungalow in a blog I follow inspired me to post them here as well as on the page listing OTHER LINENS: http://funkybabymine.blogspot.com/p/other-linens.html
The one above reminds me of the colours I used in my first house, a bungalow
that I bought in 1970 - avocado green, orange and gold were all the rage then!
 The next apron is a somewhat different take on "chicken scratch" embroidery which seems to be having a bit of a revival just now - a trip down memory lane for me - I was around for the first round and even have the patterns to show it! Usually chicken scratch is done on gingham, but here a polka dot print has been chosen. It's really effective.
And another unusual apron - done in chicken scratch style, on dainty blue and white gingham and this time following a greek key pattern which adds a touch of sophistication to the country style gingham.
All of these aprons are under $20 in price and would make such a nice gift! As always, they are in pristine condition.
Also there is no shipping on all items purchased up to Dec 31/10 and if you enter my giveaway at -
