(I started this post yesterday, but with technical issues at Blogger I am posting it today)
Those of you who know me know that I LOVE aprons. My collection now contains about 50 items. I actually get a couple requests per week to see them; so, I decided on Thursdays I will do an "Apron of the Week" post. I might miss one here or there, but I will try to stay consistent.
For this inaugural post I have chosen one of my most favorite aprons. I call it my "New-Year's-Eve-Party-Don't-Do-Any-Work-In-This-Just-Look-Pretty" Apron. It is truly a work of art. It is a half apron made of a lustrous champagne colored satin with a delicately embroidered overlay. Can you say GORGEOUS? It is spectacularly lovely...
This fine piece of art is not to be used as a towel for sticky fingers or to wipe children's runny noses. No, the sole purpose of this beautiful object is to be admired...preferably from afar...or behind glass...and NEVER worn while serving anything that might stain.
Useful? Probably not. Beautiful? Most Certainly. Nothing like a fantastic apron to outshine the dress it covers...
This is how you should work it: Have a fancy dinner. Five minutes before the guests arrive you put on on. The guests come in, you greet, you laugh, you host, you escort them to the table, then you go "phew!" "sigh!" and take it off before serving dinner. Voila!
