An apron for Kayla ~

Michelle asked me to make an apron for her daughter (who this past summer celebrated her 1st year of marriage).  I tried to make a couple for her but it just didn’t hit her fancy spot.

Then she had the wonderful idea of sending me a table cloth that belonged to her grandmother to use as the base.

It was challenging for me to find the right elements to compliment the colors in the tablecloth but I finally found some pieces that I felt worked well together.

I made this charm for Michelle to give her daughter, Kayla, last year

domestic vintage

I love everything about being domestic…keeper of my home.

truth be told, most days I really stink @ it, but I still ♥♥♥ it…I never lose hope that I’ll get better  😉

…and surely you know that I really, really love all things vintage ~ so, to combine the two makes my heart soar…

Just look @ this ironing board.  It’s so old and has been well-loved.

There is layer upon layer…the original still intact…and the original red paint looks like new!

This handle, which is on the underside, is for releasing the legs for folding and easy storage!

The original pad has this fun, green tie that runs through it to offer the necessary tension.

I purchase it from an elderly gal {$1}…it belonged to her mother.

Oh my!  How did these get here?

They are in my shopping cart as I write and they are giving me fits (not kidding, my stomach is twirling)!!!!  Should I or Shouldn’t I????  I’ve been holding onto my birthday $ since August for the perfect pair.  I may have found them.
