It’s a giveaway!

Published

Back when I started this blog, it was just me wanting to share my favorite recipes and document them for my family.

I entered the foodie community and found so many wonderful new friends, all with the same passion for food.

We all have different styles of cooking, some healthy, some decadent, some gourmet, gluten free, dairy free, vegan, southern, Italian…

I’ve met people from all over the world through this blog.

And I love it! No matter what our style, we all share the same love for food, cooking and sharing.

And the holidays are coming, the season of giving!

A few months ago, I contacted Iris at Mimi’s Needle and Thread.

I’ve never met Iris in person but I met her on FB, and fell in love with her aprons.

I had to have one.

I love aprons, I counted the other day, and I own 24 of them.

In my mud room, where most people would keep coats, I keep all my aprons. Some are half aprons, most are full. We all love to wear them. It puts us in the “mood” for cooking and baking.

And they’ve come from everywhere. I love this one.

It’s a child’s apron that I found at a yard sale years ago. In fact it’s so small, it’s too small for my girls now.

So back to Iris, and her aprons.
They are beautiful!
I sent her an e-mail, told her what I was looking for.
She e-mailed back some fabric samples.
The choices were all so wonderful, it was too hard to decide.

So I let her decide.
And this is what she did!

It doesn’t come with the necklace or petticoat.

But it does make me want to wear pearls when I’m baking!

And the detail she put into it…

I’m in love with this apron!

And I ordered an extra, to giveaway, to one of you. And I checked tho postal rates, this giveaway is open to everyone, US, Canada, Europe, Asia, Australia…

It may take a few weeks to arrive but that’s ok.

You are fabulous. Do you know that? What a great, great thing to do.

One question: Does the hottie wearing it in the pic on your FB page come with it?

(Kidding!! I think…)

My mother would LOVE this…just have a fit!

Wow. You’re so good. My fingers are crossed!

About Grace

When I was younger, I was constantly in the kitchen helping my mom bake. It was fun getting to play with the flour and always getting to lick the spoon. I’ve always expressed an interest in baking and now I feel that it’s the right time for me to take over. I am a college student working towards a nursing degree as well as a full-time aunt to the sweetest little kids (they might pop up in some of the posts). I’ve learned most of what I know about baking and cooking from my mom, and I am continuing to self-teach through trial and error, which means plenty of sweets to be eaten. Read more...

I would love to win a new beautiful one such as this.So talented….ciao4now64@yahoo.com

    That apron is amazing! My name is, Christen Eiland. I just recently started baking when I was pregnant with my daughter last year. I am now obsessed with it. My son loves to help in the kitchen…his version of helping is licking the spoons. Lol. Hope you have a wonderful Chrismas season!

    Thanks so much for all your helpful and entertaining blogs!

    love reading your blog, and following your journey with your family. I think it’s so important to pass on cooking skills to our children, mine are adults now and both love to cook … my son does most of the cooking in their house and often rings with ideas or questions!
    Back to this cute apron, I love it! it has a touch of fifties nostalgia about it and of course it compliments your blog!! If I win, I’ll give it to Kelly, lol I don’t think it’s Jonathan’s colour!!! thanks again for all your inspiration xxx
