To Do

Today I must clean the top of the fridge.

So, let me put my apron on.

Um... I must water that plant too.

Hooked on Aprons II

Maybe you remember when, some time ago, I posted Hooked on Aprons I for Hooked on Fridays at Hooked on Houses. I showed some of my aprons made by my grandmother.

Today I will show you some more aprons I have but not so important ones.

Even so, I like them and I use them all the time.

The picture above is my most recent aquisition and has pot holders matching. Also a kitchen towell .



The following are not new.

This bag matching the apron is a bread bag. As the name says, is to put bread in it.









This one, with oranges all over, is one of my favorites. It has matching pot holders too.

The girl is not me - lol - is my big girl.

This one is hers. She is very much into aprons, which is a good sign: it shows femininity and that she likes domesticity.



This one belongs to my girl that is now fourteen - but is the older one that is showing it to us.



This one belongs to my husband and it's his favorite.
This picture is a bit old and shows my little girl trying to put his glasses in the pocket.



These ones belong to my little girls. As they see all the growns ups with aprons, they want also to have theirs.
It's good they learn from the early ages.

Hooked on Aprons - I

When I saw at Hooked on Houses Hooked on Fridays, I wanted so much to join. Then I thought what am I hooked on. One thing that came immediately to my mind was Aprons.

The ones who know me know it already as I posted already some pictures of my aprons. Now, I can't resist to post them again. Sorry for the ones who saw them before but I can't resist.
The pictures are not new at all. But here they are.

This first one was made by my grandmother for me, for my married life. The fabric is very nice and represents an opera house with all people looking to the stage. I never saw nothing like that and I find it amazing.
I also like the rick rack on the borders.

Next one was also made by my grandmother for me.



It's so nice too, with all the colourful fabric squares and strawberry apliqué.

They are so important to me that I stoped using them and I just keep staring at them.

Last one was my mother who gave me. It came together with peg and oven glove peg. I still use them but only sometimes in the year and I only do it when my mother come to my house.



I have more but not so important, because they were bought by me.

Even so, I like all of them because the symbolic value they have, they represent homemaker's power.

Show & Tell Friday

All Fridays, Kelli at There Is No Place Like Home hosts a Show and Tell Friday. So, here I am showing you some of my aprons, begining with one my mother gave me years ago. It has some matching pot holders.

And the next one was made by my grandmother before I was married so I would wear it when I would be married.

Also this one, was made at the same time. Notice the detail of the fabric, it's an opera house.



These are not so special, just some common aprons I were everyday.



It was my oldest daughter who is wearing it so I could take a picture.
See the detail here. I like oranges very much. I think it's a pretty thing.

This one has pears on it. Fruit patterns in the kitchen give always a good note.

And now these, nothing special, just pretty.

I have more and I keep buying them because I do like aprons and I wear them everyday.
