I've also had problems trying to load pictures..*sighs here. So, forget my little problems, click on Vintage Things Thursday button to take you straight there...See you there..
I haven't been able to get out and about to see what all I can find in the thrift/antique shops. And (*sobs here),I really miss it. I so love looking through the shops just waiting for something to say .."Take me home with you".
This is a little bottle apron...I have several of these, made "back in the day"..and can only show the one. I remember these little bottle aprons being used,but can't remember for sure the time perion. Whenever they were popular,I still love them today. I don't use them,but I'm trying to think of a cute way to display them.
The little green one is so pretty with the combination of flowers and lace...This sweet little apron is one of the smallest ones. What is it's use?? I have no idea, but I loved it and the others following. Especially I love the longer white one. It's so pretty and crisp when it was washed and ironed. I think it has to be my favorite. What is it's use?? Again,I have no idea,but I love it and will think of someway to display it.

ReplyDeleteYour little bottle aprons are SO cute!! I love the little striped one the best, I think! They are all precious.
Sorry about your computer problems. And to be honest...I haven't wanted to go anywhere since Christmas and that includes shopping. Someone better take my temp!!

What a fun collection! They are all so sweet!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful new years!
These are all so SWEET, CC!.. LOVE them! I'm not sure how I would display them either, but off the top of my head, I'm thinking either on dolls (big surprise there, ha! ha!).. or I would maybe drape a little clothes line somewhere with miniature clothes pins to hang them up on!.. Just a couple of ideas, that's all! (0; I have a small collection going with full-sized aprons, and just LOVE them!.. Anyways, on this New Year's Eve, I just want to say I've so appreciated meeting and getting to know you better this past year, and I count this new friendship as a blessing! Happy New Year, and Best wishes to you for 2010! ~tina

PS, Oh said the lady who just understood what these are! I would hang them on my kitchen valance, a plain colored one.
ReplyDeleteHope you get thrifting soon! I'm having withdrawals!
Hi!
ReplyDeleteThose are really cute aprons! Could they be from the 40's or 50's. I remember my mom wearing those. Thanks for stopping by my place. Have a safe and happy new year!

Maybe they were used to decorate the bottles on the dinner table, ketchup, mustard etc? In Australia we had crocheted covers for the worcestershire etc.
ReplyDeleteCUTE!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a Happy,Prosperous,Healthy New Year!
Hi, CC! So many people now have their liquid dish detergent built into their sink, I think that's why the bottle apron may have left us. They were a cute idea to cover up the label, sort of like all of those appliance cozies.
ReplyDeleteLove your collection of small aprons. They are lovely. One of my goals is to make an apron for my granddaughters and a small one for their American Girl doll. I saw a pattern somewhere. Just have to locate it.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog.
