Victoria S: Funny you should be blogging about “vintage”. I recently discovered the joy of vintage apron shopping. I love to be in the kitchen, I am sloppy as all get out, and have been wearing boring old black barbecue aprons. Went online and checked out some old (and new reproduction) bib aprons, now I’m hooked. I think I’m gonna start my “Donna Reed/Mrs. Cleaver” apron collection.

I have sevetal aprons purchased for the same reason as you. Keep some boring ones though. There is nothing worse than staining your favorite coffee print apron with some weird fuschia colored food . . .

PS. I did Google vintage peignoirs, and you are right! Some of those professional sellers are selling peignoir sets for more than my mortgage payment! I remember my mom wearing them and thinking they were very pretty. But I guess, for for safety reasons, she always got us cotton. And frankly, until this blog, I had forgotten how nice I used to think my mom looked, and how pretty they were when she walked down the hall in the mornings.

I remember that old ILGWU tag, and even remember the song from the commercials. Thanks for the memory booster

My mother bought me a peignoir set when I was planning my wedding. Beautiful. . . but not really comfortable. Of course it really just suppose to be for show (grin)
