Where I Do Some Promoting

In an attempt to be more conscious of the Peace process and to be more fashionable while cleaning and cooking, and stop ruining my few articles of clothing I decided to buy myself an apron.  Oh no - not just ANY apron....but a rather cool looking Peace Apron fashioned by Dust Pan Alley.   I think they are quite beautiful and upon arriving, was impressed with how well it fit.  Angelina models her clothes, and aprons, to the retro style (40's and 50's when women's clothing actually looked GOOD on women).

I do own one other apron - a gift from a friend living in Nigeria.   It is bright blue - batiked with the words "No Food for Lazy Man".  I wish I could prescribe to that notion, but then I wouldn't be able to eat myself some days.  I really like this Batiked apron too, but it's not exactly the type to be stylish with - if I actually ever have the need to be stylish...

But, you never know when Martha Stewart might show up at my doorstep and declare "Make me some of your Salmon with Blackberry Sauce."  I'd quickly don my Peace Apron and start cooking and then Martha would say, "My what a lovely apron, where did you purchase it?"  I'd flick my brown tresses back and murmer slyly, "Oh, Dust Pan Alley, where EVERYONE whose ANYONE buys their aprons."  And then, of course, Martha would be calling up Angelina and asking for a huge order......

Even though Martha is NEVER going to show up at my doorstep, I have decided I can stop getting grease spots on my shirts and spilling dishwater on my pants.  Let the Apron take the dust and dirt while I'm cleaning.  Now I don't have to worry about changing my shirt when I go shopping....I just have to take off the Apron.  Heck - maybe I won't even do that.  It's cool enough.

Way to go, Karmyn, Baby!!

This is a "good cause apron' the one I wear is bright red and white striped with the word OXO (beefy meat cube) I expect I got it on a free promotion years ago.

I think that is a BIG CHICKEN foot --
(says mama hen who is also a wuss about getting her picture taken)

Need to get my aprons out and use more often.

Awww -- that's a very nifty apron! Very cool and hip indeed. Martha Stewart will be asking you where you got it when she knocks on your door :P

My apron is a red one from Williams-Sonoma; I bought it half price AFTER Valentine's Day. Yours is much more socially conscious.

Very cute! I have an apron, but I always forget I have it until after I've got stuff all over me.

[Susan in va]

I like it! The colors are fantastic-o!

I bought an apron last week as well.

Unfortunately it's not as nice as yours but I was fed up spilling stuff down my clothes.

[wolfbaby]

I'm sure you're an excellent homemaker. Grease spots.... Whatever, Karmyn. You think you're bad but you're not.

Okay, while I was getting Baby Bethy to sleep (yeah, it happens occasionally) I thought of some Pamela-esque lines:

You can "visualize whirled peas" while you "visualize world peace."

You can simultaneously give peas and peace a chance.

Okay, leaving now.
