I'll be giving away a cotton canvas apron in a black and white IKEA faux wood grain print. Comfortable. Durable. Designed for gardening, but also great for crafting, cooking, or anything else for which you might possibly need an apron.

ReplyDeleteLove this apron! So different. I just finished reading Divergent and the 2nd book called Insurgent. There is a 3rd one coming out sometime that will be called Emergent. I can't wait to read it. We are gardening right now as are a lot of people but one of our fave veggies is okra! Love it.
ReplyDeleteThis is soo pretty.. I just read the new Lyndsay Sands book, I love her stuff
ReplyDeleteVery cute. I like to grow cardoons because they are so hard to find in the market.
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable! I am looking forward to the wonderful weather, time with my husband, extra craft time, AND...moving at the end of the summer! jinglesells at gmail dot com

This is such a great looking apron. I just finished the series The Hunger Games. Very Good Books!
ReplyDeleteI just discovered that Ikea has some really fun fabric!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome apron! I've been meaning to make one for myself (since I get so my clothes so dirty gardening lately) and maybe now I won't have to! I recommend Colum McCann's Let the Great World Spin, not because I need something to say, but because it is a genuinely great book. Happy Monday.
ReplyDeleteLove this apron! Tres chic!
ReplyDeleteUnbroken is a must-read.
Love that fabric! I'm looking forward to the arrival of my 3rd child this summer!
ReplyDeleteThat is a very cute apron. I love the fabric! Where did you get the wire frame body from? Did you buy it? Make it?
ReplyDeleteWow, do I love that apron! I really don't think I could wear that to do gardening, it is too cute for my messy self. Of course gardening at this point means only hacking back the weeds. In fact we just had our lawn put in Saturday! Guess if I win that apron, I'll just enjoy wearing it around the house!
ReplyDeleteFabulous apron! I've just finished reading Uncle Tom's Cabin for the first time, and it was excellent.
ReplyDeleteVery cool apron. We are experimenting with some new gardening techniques this year (straw bale, and topsoil bag) so we'll see if the tomatoes I keep trying to grow will happen. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI love the print on this apron! I am short on space to plant, so I am sprouting some onions in my windowsill and am going to start some sprouts soon!
ReplyDeleteI just finished reading Stephen King's 11/22/63 and I loved it!
ReplyDeleteWhat great fabric!!! I am looking forward to spending some quality time with my extended family this summer. We recently moved and I miss them! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteoh how I wish I had access to some IKEA fabrics! Love the apron! I am looking forward to going to North Carolina to visit family, then to Wisconsin for a wedding, and then throwing a baby shower for my best friend! A fun filled summer!!!
ReplyDeleteDigging the fabric! I just read the Hunger games and watched Downton Abby on DVD
ReplyDeleteWow. I love this fabric! I've never seen it before. I like to stroll Ikea. I usually end up spending too much money on things I "needed" and Swedish meatballs. (How can you resist?)
ReplyDeleteI'm reading Enders Game. I'm growing beets for the first time this year. Frozen yogurt is yummy, but is definitely not ice cream.
This is one of the coolest aprons I've seen! I love it. My favorite book is Wicked by Gregory Maguire.
ReplyDeleteIs it sad to say that I really enjoyed the "Fifty Shades of Grey" series!?
ReplyDeleteWow, that print is so unique! I am attempting to read We Need To Talk About Kevin. It's really really well written, but each sentence is dripping with meaning so it's a slow read.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool apron! i collect aprons and would love to add this one to my others. I also craft and use my aprons mostly for that, and display them as well (can't put them away, they are too pretty). Thank you for participating. I have fun finding new blogs to follow and looking at all the neat stuff people create!
ReplyDeleteOooh that apron is right up my alley! Right now I am growing garlic which will be ready the end of next month! You haven't lived until you've tasted fresh garlic... :P
ReplyDeletecheck out that lovely apron!! OK i am reading Steve Jobs's Autobiography on my iPad which I think he would totally love!!
ReplyDeletexo Steph

ReplyDeletecarolinejaco at gmail dot com
The print on this fabric is very interesting.
ReplyDeleteI have never thought of wearing an apron for gardening, such a great idea!! I have been rereading the Wheel of Time series, which I really enjoy. And I love growing tomatoes and making sauces. And I always think root vegetables are so much fun to harvest. Thanks so much for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI love that apron! Its so cute!
ReplyDeleteI love wearing aprons for gardening. My tissues, gloves, wipe rag all in a pocket make it so easy. Also the keys, which I left out overnight the other day because I put them on the fence post and not in the apron I wasn't wearing. Lesson learned.
ReplyDeleteI wear an apron most of the time when I'm in the house becuase I am so messy at whatever I am doing!! I f=grow my own green, purple and yello beans so I would love an 'outdoor' apron!!!
ReplyDeleteI just read Lone Survivor, the true story of a Navy SEAL in Afghanistan.
ReplyDeleteA great book, Game of Thrones. The series is fantastic!
