Aprons!

Ok,ok,ok don't get me started about American Idol and Kris Allen!

Actually I was sooooo sure about the outcome that I didn't watch it. I tuned in just when Ryan was announcing the winner. Apparently I missed a really crappy coronation song co-written by Kara DioGuardi. The only thing I can say is: You voted for him, you have to buy his record, he is YOUR idol now!

On a more pleasant front...2 weeks ago I scored some really cute aprons at a church thrift shop. In between running the house,preparing the garden and the garage sale I just had time last night to iron them, so here they are!

First pic a pink and white cutie, so fresh and springlike! Super nice condition!

Second pic: this one doesn't have pockets but is really 'crisp' with 3 beautiful red apples and a green and white checkered background.

3rd pic: I love this one! it is NEW, vintage but new! Still in the wrapper! Unbelivable! Some used the mitts and they are long gone, but the apron is pristine (see 4th pic).

Last but not least: A 70's apron, no pocket but a black button to hold a dishcloth or a mitt. I love those flowers!

As time goes by I find myself more and more attracted to vintage fabric...A genetic trait I've heard, from my father's! LOL

Tomorrow I'll try to write a post about church basement wednesday ('coz I found cool stuff!)

OMG the garage sale is saturday! I'm so excited, I hope a lot of people will come (and find our stuff cool! Not crappy...like greasy tupperware crappy! LOL) I also hope to get rid of a lot of stuff,so we don't have to haul everything to Salvation!

TTFN!

Here it is!

At last! the pictures from the ashtray!

First pic, is the ashtray with the maple syrup....Amber syrup (I don't buy the clear-too wimpy for me...)

Second a close-up of the delightfully kitsch ashtray!

I tell you this one is staying right here in the living so I can look at it ad nauseam!

last pic: The stamp underneath. Now I haven't done any web search on it yet, so I don't know this company. But thank you for making that beautiful ashtray! And for 2 dollars! WOW!!!


Last night was movie night and in my pursuit of blockbusters we saw Star Trek! Now that was a fun ride!!!

I was a big fan of the original TV series and the movie brought all kinds of memories. The casting is spot on! Of course Chris Pine is a great Kirk and Zachary Quinto a super Spock but Carl Urban as Bones...WOW I thought it was Bones but younger!
Good times!
Upset for the night: Gilles didn't win DWTS! Ok I'm booing now! BIG TIME! Ok course I am not objective lol! I feel he should've won, but the American public decided diffently! Keep on dancing Gilles, you dance beautifully! And I didn't watch the first part of the AI finale!
I'll hunt for some clips in the net....I gotta prepare for my Wednesday hunt at the church basement. Later!
