My apron is my uniform. When Mama puts on her apron everyone knows she means business.
To celebrate our first Blogiversary at Apron Strings & Other Things it only seems fitting to give a way an Apron. I picked up this cheerful, summer-y apron recently and I will send it to one of you! Just fill out the rafflecopter form below to enter.

Happy Blogversary! I do still wear and apron…EVERYDAY! I have a stash of 50’s vintage aprons. Some are my mothers and some my grandmothers. I have also picked some vintage linens up at different garage sales and auctions. I have one or two modern but not many. My girls first sewing project was an apron!
Love Vintage Aprons! How special you get to wear your mother’s and grandmother’s. Aprons are a fantastic first sewing project – I’m sure your girls’ aprons will be beautiful.
I have one that my mother-in-law gave me for Christmas and one that I got from my grandma when she passed away.
I love how aprons become heirlooms and often have special family ties 🙂
I do not own an apron, but I would like to win this one. I think that cleaning with an apron would motivate me to clean possibly. 🙂
I agree, Derika – putting on my apron really does help motivate me to get to work!
I don’t wear an apron, I’ve just never had one. I wear skirts most of the time, and use those as towels/potholders when I’m cooking :). I have some kids that never touched the “apron strings” and some that are still clinging tight. I let them decide when to let go.
I use my skirts in the same way when I’m not wearing my apron 🙂 and I have children in all different stages of attachement to my apron strings – that’s a good thing!
I don’t have an apron, really need one b/c I’m so tired of ruining my shirts while cooking. My kids won’t be pulling on the strings either, they are very independent..sometimes to independent.
wearing my apron sure does help save my wardrobe! and even if your children don’t pull on those apron strings, they surely do need us. Glad you are raising independent thinkers!
I just realized I have been doing a ton of cooking and baking with NO apron! I need one 🙂
oh, my yes Brandy! you need an apron 🙂
I do wear an apron occasionally, but my youngest daughter wears them far more often! We have a few that have been hand made, some from my grandmother. They are a treat to slip on, and make us smile!
it’s wonderful so many ladies have aprons passed down to them from mothers and grandmothers – and now your daughter is carrying on the tradition! May aprons make me smile too 🙂
I always wear an apron when cooking! Although my mom did not, my grandma did. I’d like to think it’s my connection with her and a way to pass along a tradition. <3 aprons!
😀 It’s a wonderful tradition! I don’t remember my mom wearing an apron much either. The messy cook that I am, good thing I wear an apron!
I love aprons. I have been collecting them for years. I usually go to antique shops to find them.
I’m always on the lookout for aprons, too Kristy
Yeap,I wear an apron especially when got on good clothes, not so much when outside grilling, Apron strings have been cut all my kids are married with kids of their own
so happy to meet another apron-wearing Grandma! I wear my apron on Sundays so I don’t have to change out of my Sunday-Best, makes the day more special that way.
I don’t own an apron but have always wanted one!
I highly recommend them, Kara!
I don’t wear an apron. I would love to win one. I would wear it all the time.
🙂
I currently do not wear an apron. I love the vintage style ones! I’ve been looking at patterns and toying with the idea of making one 🙂
the vintage patterns have so much personality, Kimberly. I’ve been looking at them myself. That may have to be a future giveaway 😉
Yes to Aprons!! I love them!!
yay! another Apron lover!
I do wear aprons. I have a beautiful one that my mom got me for my birthday one year, it has chickens on it and my name embroidered on it. It’s almost too nice to wear for normal cooking. My kids are still clingning.
how special to have a hand-picked apron from your mother. There is joy in having children still clinging, even amid the chaos 🙂
I wear a paisley one that my grandmother gave me.
Paisley – how fun! most of mine have flowers, I think.
I tend to not be an apron wearer – but I have a dear friend who is – so she will be getting this if I win! My 2 boys are 27 and 24, and the oldest one got married last year – so we’ve been empty nesters for awhile – there is good and bad to that!
a sweet friend you are 🙂 our oldest is turning 28 soon and I understand about the good and the bad. I suppose each season of life is like that!
I used to have several handmade aprons, but lost them in a house fire 2 years ago. Haven’t worn one in a while.
I’m so sorry to hear about your house fire. I’ve wondered how I would handle a traumatic event like that. I think it’s for you to have a new apron!
I wear a plain pink apron that my husband bought me from Williams Sonoma. It’s okay, but I would love to have something pretty!
I’m sure you looks pretty in plain pink, but it’s always nice to have a spare apron on hand!
My mom made me a few aprons a few years ago but I rarely wear them. I guess if I’m cooking something that might splatter I do. I like bright colored ones. My kids are all 5 and under, so still clinging to the apron strings. Two still literally do!
I like bright cheerful colors too – I can relate to cooking splatters and clingy ones 😉
I do not usually wear one but my mom does!
interesting – my grown daughters don’t usually wear one either. Hmmm, I wonder what that means?
I Love aprons and have a Pinterest board devoted them! I do wear an apron when I’m cooking a big meal. My Mom was an apron wearer and I now have her precious aprons. Both of my daughters are grown, married and gone. We are very much loving our life as empty nesters 🙂
I need to come see your pinterest board Shirley! I am seeing how aprons are often a legacy passed down from one generation to another. It will be some time before we have an empty nest, but I am beginning to have a bit more freedom 🙂
Right now I’m wearing an ancient, stained apron that was my work uniform when I was in high school. It keeps my clothes looking better.
I can relate – I wear my aprons, and it shows! I get rather attached with my comfortable old friends, and I hesitate to dirty up my new ones. Such is the life of an apron wearer 🙂
I love APRONS! I just don’t wear them often enough.
I think there must be a reason each day to wear an apron!
