Collections Part 3

This collection of mine is one I truly did not realize had gotten so out of hand. My lovely apron collection.  They are so easy to collect and come in so many pretty fabrics.  I would pick up a few from a sale, receive them as gifts, and get handed down special aprons that were in my family.  It was not until today that  I decided to take them all out to photograph them for my blog, that I realized I had enough for every woman in McLean county.  But who could resist such pops of color?  Obviously I can't.

 Who knew I had enough to reach across our lawn?

Collections Part 1 &2

I'd like to welcome you into my world of little collections I started over the years.  Such silly things that have drawn my attention from time to time, and bring a smile to my face.  First stop is a relativily new collection I've started since Wolfgang's arrival.  Retro childrens books, filled with lovely art work and kitchy drawings.  The second collection is a variety of swimwear either gifted or thrifted for me.
