Yum.

I wear my aprons daily.  Some were gifts from friends, family, friends who are like family; and other aprons are ones that I've just picked up at flea markets or online. I mostly wear half aprons that I wrap once around my waist and then tie in a bow in front, length and belly willing.  But I'll wear full aprons when I know I'm going to be making a huge mess.  Here's a photo of me wearing one (my feet are peeking out!) with a pile of my favorites.
*Second from left is from my friend, Meaghan (I wear this one a lot... and it's totally worn- which I love.)

*Third from left is from sister-in-law, Kasey (it's a fancy handmade one that she got from an artist on Etsy.  I wear it on special occasions.)

*The teal, orange and ivory apron was a gift from Kasey's mom.  It was a sweet and thoughtful thank you present for hosting Kasey's baby shower.  It's a full apron with an embroidered bird on the top half.

*Second from right (the adorable pink number) was from friends, Brian and Jen (this one is worn for times when I'm having a friend over for tea or lunch.)

*And that sliver of wild brights... yellow, lilac, red, and green (in between the black aprons): That one was my Nanny's (that's what we called our paternal grandmother).  She wore it in the 70's and 80's. ( It's VERY psychedelic). And then my father "inherited" it.  Best thing ever?  To see my Papa wearing it while cooking stuffed shells for a holiday dinner.  A close second best thing ever?  Seeing my husband wearing it while making tacos.

p.s. Aprons with pockets are a bonus ( I end up filling them with string, paper clips, dog treats, and found lucky pennies.)
