you don.t need to cut the apron strings here....

question:  what happens when a wonderful event planner goes crazy 
bidding on vintage apron lots on ebay?


answer:   happy artsy chica.s  have a free for all picking the one they want...
trying them on for size...
 showing their divine apron fashion sense...
and posing before the paint begins to splatter!!!


i thought this was one of the cutest ideas that i learned this past weekend
at the seaside soiree with some really dear women...
on your next art date with friends,
 or even your next "let.s all cook together" weekend...
take some time to gather some sassy vintage aprons from great aunt martha.s 
linen closet (or ebay or your local thrift shop...even better) and gift them to 
all those sweet brave creative wonderful souls that you.ve gathered near.

  6. What a great idea....women never get tired of playing dress up, even if it's aprons.

    They are very cute.

    Have a happy holiday season.

    I'm still loving the apron made for me by Stella at last years retreat and I'll be bringing it with me in February =-)

  8. What a gorgeous idea. Chrissy I know you sometimes do these art classes/retreats and I'm really keen to do one - I will have some space and time to travel soon and would love to come to the States and Do Art! I'd be really grateful if you could tell me where the best place is to look for these classes/retreats? Thanks :) Tara x
