I was so happy to be a part of Stephenie and Heather's Altered Apron Swap! You may have already seen some of the gorgeous altered aprons around blogland... I'm a few days behind on my blog, so I'm going to catch you up!
I was over the moon when I received my apron from Tiffany of Shabby Scraps. She has really great pictures on her blog of my sweet apron, I wish I could do it justice!!
First, Tiffany sent along these sweet little pink kitchen goodies, that I am ALREADY using! ;0)
I love the vintage style apron tag! Isn't it great?!?
Here is my amazing apron, such a treat!! And you will see, she did SUCH a perfect job of making it "me".
Perfect pale aqua millinery flowers...
I love these little rosette flowers she made from vintage fabrics... so adorable!
And the best part, look at the pink and white polka dot applique "A".... so perfect!!!!!!!!
Pom poms, pink, aqua, posies! Need I say more? Thank you SOOOOO much Tiffany!!!
I LOVE IT!!! It's going to get a lot of use!! :0) You'll be seeing it again very soon at Jenn's art retreat!!!

I also had the privilege of making an apron for Miss Jessica of Such Pretty Things. She loves vintage millinery, pastels, pink and aqua.... our color schemes are practically identical! So I was really happy to be chosen to make her apron!!
I sent along a few little art goodies, cause that's what we all love, right?
I used a pale pink vintage dotted swiss apron. I LOVE dotted swiss fabric! It is just so dainty and feminine.
I added some trims, vintage millinery flowers, vintage buttons and velvet ribbons.... really fun to make as you can imagine!
I hope Jessica loves it!!
You can see all the altered aprons that were swapped at our flickr group HERE! Hope you will stop by and check them out!
Have a nice weekend everyone!!

Those aprons are so beautiful! I'm a sucker for pink and aqua as well. You did a fantastic job of embellishing the apron, I love the way you used the hankie- that is a hankie right? lol Looks great!
Have a Happy Day!

I have seen some gorgeous aprons in this swap!! And everyone did such a good job of matching the style to the person it was destined for. Tiffany really captured your style in her apron!
