I LOVE APRONS! They were commonly referred to as "Kitchen Pretties", in a much simpler time. Maybe it's the simpleness that I love....the comfort of home and family.

"There was a time when a woman rose and put on her apron as her most functional piece of clothing. She hardly left her bed, let alone her house without it. Early photographs of frontier women bear witness to the one garment common to all - the apron. Frontier women wore aprons with pockets. Those pockets concealed hankies, leftover cold biscuits and ham, small toys, eyeglasses, roots, plants, and other stuff gathered from the wilderness."
