Vintage Aprons Review & GIVEAWAY!

Vintageaprons
I've been a homemaker for quite some time now and usually will put on my "clothes not for public" to clean and cook. You know, the clothes you have with the stain on it from when you were cooking or the clothes with the holes in them. Lately I've not just wanted an apron, but have actually needed one. VintageAprons.com have the most beautiful retro aprons I have EVER seen! When VintageAprons.com told me that I could do a review AND a giveaway I was jumping up and down (literally).


My Review
Let me tell you, it took about 3 hours to finally pick my apron! VintageAprons.com has a wide selection of aprons including Full Vintage Aprons, Half Vintage Aprons and even Kids Vintage Aprons! Some of the aprons even come with a matching oven mitten! The apron I finally picked to review was the Woven Houndstooth Vintage Apron "Heirloom quality Designer Hostess Apron constructed from a fine Linen/Cotton Blend." (from site). I have so many great things to say about this apron and am seriously trying to think of one bad thing, but can't at the moment. These aprons are classy, durable and the quality is exceptional; a definite A+! It's great to know my apron will last a VERY long time! I even like how the ties at the waist are long enough to wrap around my midsection more than once so that I can tie it in the front or on the side for a different look. Also, the longer ties are great for expanding bellies on lucky expecting mamas! One of the reasons I picked this one is because it has two pockets and I was pleased to find that they have plenty of room for gloves and other items I might need while cleaning or cooking. I found out today I have a stress fracture in my ankle, so unfortunately I won't be cleaning like I had been. I can't wait till I can....in style! Who said we had to look frumpy while cleaning or cooking? You know what?  I finally thought of something I didn't like..I didn't like that I didn't get more than one! :)
