Biography

Why did I choose the symbol of an Apron? To some this might represent an old fashioned subservient role from the 50’s. To others it might evoke a warm comforting memory of their mother or grandmother donning one during a baking session of chocolate chip cookies. I am intrigued by our past, of where we have come and gone with an Apron Tied Round our waist. An apron to me is a symbol of strength and empowerment. A lot of women are able to do anything these days from outside work to homemaker. I juggle both being a mother and a small business owner. When I take those vintage apron strings and tie that bow around my waist, I am envisioning every step of history that led us to where we are now. I wear my apron with respect for all the women who lived before me, and I wear it for pure convenience as I so love having a pocket to drop my handy pen and notepad into. Plus, I think a pink Polka-dot and brown cross-stitch Apron is so Chic!

Interests

I love Thrifting, collecting vintage linens, doing a variety of crafts, collecting vintage aprons, collecting children's books especially those illustrated by Jane Dyer and collecting other vintage items to fill my 1927 cottage. When I am not collecting I am writing or reading books.
