I've got a new obsession: HOSTESS APRON'S. I just adore them. They remind me of my Grandma, of days gone-by, and of simpler times. Or at least an era that seemed less complicated somehow. Aprons used to be a staple in the kitchen. Why don't we wear them so much anymore? I've started to and it is really fun! So fun, in fact, that I decided to start designing my own:
I really just love them! They are hip, flirty, charming, and best of all...PRACTICAL! And somehow they make dinner taste a little better too. ;)
So since I've been promising another little OliveJuice and Co blog giveaway....here it is! (hehe...I have a blast with these little freebies.) I can't give away a ton of these babies so we'll start with one and see how it goes. I'm not sure how to do it to make it fair. (And really, I don't even know for sure that anyone besides me will even like these crazy things.) Hmmmm...... How about leaving me your name in the comment section and then we will do a little drawing in a few days? How about on Sunday~ Cuz it's my favorite day. So that's it. If you want a chance to get your own little custom OJ&Co apron, leave me your name, and I'll draw out a winner this coming Sunday. Sound good?

ETA: Wowah! I honestly did not think people would really like these so much! I am loving them even more now. And I forgot to explain the whole "custom" apron that the winner will be getting.....you will be able to choose the style/color of the apron you get. You won't be stuck with the retro-funk one that I have pictured if that is not your style. :)
Oh I just love aprons!! I trulllllllly adore them! I have a couple. Kind of like a mini apron collection :) These are so cute! So bright and colorful! Truly anyone would be "hip" in the kitchen!

I followed Corina's "pimp" link from DST. I wear my apron A LOT! I'm such a sloppy chef (aren't all the good ones?). LOL. My hubby is tired of seeing me in my green Williams Sonoma apron. This is just darling!

Those aprons are SO CUTE! Let me tell you why I NEED one. :) Last year at Christmas I was wearing an apron and a friend of mine (should be ex-friend) told me that I looked like my husband's grandmother!!! I definitely wouldn't look like a grandma is one of your aprons!

Hi! I followed the liink from DST here - I have to say WOW! I've been looking all over for aprons, they are hard to find!!! I am a messy cook ( but I LOVE to cook and bake ) so I normally have to deal with just sticking a teacloth through belt loops!!*LOL* How sad is that? This apron is beautiful. I'd be thrilled with a pattern or some instruction on how to make my own??
