Oh, Betty! WHAT BEAUTIFUL LO this is!!! And, HOW WONDERFUL FOR YOU TO SHARE IT WITH ALL OF US. It brings back a lot of memories for me, but there are probably some here who have wondered about aprons. Thanks for educating all of us! Your journaling is wonderful, and I LOVE ALL THE PHOTOS you've taken! Also, your design is so very well planned out, especially the colors, and I LOVE THE JOURNALING AND ESPECIALLY THE PICTURES OF THE TWO OLD PATTERNS (I'VE NEVER HEARD OF THE "ADVANCE" BRAND! ....wow"!). Have you ever read the poem called "Grandma's Apron"? I love that poem! I got it from dennydavis.net. I imagine you've used this website with lots of poems, quotes, etc, for scrapbookers before. Here's the poem: Grandma's Apron I gaze at my Modern kitchen Appliances by the score. but nary a one a handy, As the Apron Grandma wore. Huge, made of sturdy cotton Drab colored so spots wouldn't show. Held secure by a waist band Tied with a ribbon and a bow. The best multi-purpose appliance The world will ever know. A supporter for the toddlers first steps A hider for Childish fears. A wrapper on chilly evenings A remover of Childish tears. A basket for every collection grain, eggs or baby chicks. The flowers for the mantel Cobs, kindling or buffalo chips. The vegetables from the garden Or sweet corn from the field. A protector from hot pans or dishes At the stove a good heat shield. A communication signal to the workers on the farm. To say that it is meal time Or to carry an alarm. A driver of fowl from a garden or flies from an open door. The dust from the parlor table or crumbs to the kitchen floor. A curtain for shadeless windows, A frost guard for tender plants. A cradle for sleepy babies A tanner for impish scamps... These are some of the uses of that implement of yore. That best of all piece of equipment The Apron that Grandmother wore. So I gaze at my modern Kitchen A gadget for every chore and admit they are not as convenient as that Apron that Grandma wore.

These are such wonderful layout. And your journaling reminds me of when I was a child. I have only a few I made years ago and I do use them for alot of what you said.

July 22, 2009

Wonderful layout, memorializing a time when housewives made and wore aprons. My mother used to add hemmed scraps from old bath towels to the waist seam. She used this as a combination hand towel and pot holder.
