Oh my gosh, those are CUTE! I love aprons.
I have close to 20 aprons. Obviously not enough. I love these.
These are so cute! These look like they can worn as skirts, as long as you don’t turn around :P
Adorable. Much better than getting caught in a stained and spotted one when dinner guests arrive early!
Really cute! I make aprons on occasion. It’s nice to see what others are doing.
That’s funny! I just made 2 aprons and sent them to my sister for her birthday! They are so easy and cheap to make!
These are so cute and retro! This makes me want to cook more often so I could wear one.
OOOOH! these are all so cute! I just started really getting into aprons (the full ones with the bib). I would pick the blue one in the top right corner.
OMG – Even I want to do dishes now !
Oh how adorable, I am going to put on one of my grandmothers aprons this minute and give my four year old a bath and bring back wonderful memories of my grandmother!! thank you for sharing this beautiful photo!!
Love the one pictured in the bath photo. I use aprons all the time and I need a new, cute one. Mother’s Day is just around the corner!
it’s honestly never occured to me to wear an apron at bathtime…but it makes sense. And it works better than the towel I’ve been draping over my legs as I sit near the tub….
I’m in love with their aprons!
super cute :)
