Retro-Chic Aprons

We took a drive to Shipshewana, Indiana a few weeks ago with my sister and her husband. As we were browsing, we came across the Vintage Homes shop that sells a variety of retro products touting the comforts of days past. One item in particular caught my eye. It was a rack of lovely retro-chic aprons. Who would think that aprons could be smart and sexy looking. Anyhow, they were made by Jessie Steele and have been featured on Oprah and many magazines. The patterns date back to 1940s and 50s. And, the fabrics brought back memories of my Grandmother. I’m not sure if it is real or my imagination, but my Grandmother always wore an apron in the pictures in my mind.
