I had to pass by the mercatino usato to pick up my prized table that I purchased the other day and it just so happened that there was a pile of never-used, linen grembiule (aprons) from the 60’s. They are so beautiful and so well made. And the patterns and colours are so gorgeous. I fell in love with all of them so I ended up buying….all of them. They will make perfect aprons for all my baking (and my new goal to look prettier in the kitchen) and I’m sure more than a few will be gifted to fellow bakers who I know will appreciate them.
I’d like some of these as pretty little dresses for the summer. Hmmm…is it possible to turn an apron into a dress? Maybe with a few material insert pieces in the back? Or maybe I can sew two together? Ideas ideas…
The cut of the aprons is so flattering and the palette of colours so reminiscent of the 60’s and 70’s.
They are so gorgeous – the materials must have been designed or printed just for them.

Oh my.
I’m more than a little jalos.
You’re right, that cut is beautiful.
The first thing I thought was, I want a dress like that.
Especially in those bright colors and great graphic esigns.
Boy, what a find!
Love from,

Holy cow, one is cuter than the other!
Great grab – they are gorgeous. You could do a raffle or a contest, and one could be a prize!
ack!!!! i love that apple one!!!!
how could I have possibly missed this post?? I just found this on my reader now! so beautifull!! colors, patterns – aprons! glorious 🙂 I love it. I can totally see them brightening up the kitchen. and a happy chef too. haha.. yeah you could definitely make them into dresses. or maybe try like Bjork in her Bachelorette video: http://youtu.be/x5nNfbTS6N4 (saddish song but you get the idea. hehe)
I love that video and song. Only Bjork could get away with wearing an outfit like that…
Gorgeous! They are so cute, I love them, especially the blue and yellow one. But the apple-one is adorable too!
Btw, I just bake some cupcakes, and I am sure they will taste really nice, but the decorations look like Corneeltje made them … I’ll just blame it on the hormones 😉
Maybe next time we see each other, in stead of gossiping, you can give me some baking lessons!!! And then we can keep on gossiping, while baking 😉
