I only spent $2, but look. . .

. . . what I got!

Aprons!  Aprons!  And even more aprons!

Spike had to get into the photo.  He thought this was actually a cat toy -- or at least the apron strings!

Gotta have a fancy one for the holidays.

Can you even stand this one?  I just love this owl so much that I want to frame it and hang it on the wall. 

So even though this was all I got in our trek across town (we visited three different shops), I felt pretty darn lucky.  And how can you beat the price?  I saw aprons that weren't even this nice at an antique fair last summer going for $10-15 each.  The nice ones were fetching even higher prices and I saw nothing like my darling owl!

I *heart* thrifting!

Is it an owl?

It reminds me of "The Partridge Family".

But still cool, nonetheless.

$2 for four aprons? Not too shabby. They're definitely cute, but I have to ask...are you going to use them?

[amy k.]

What great aprons! My great-grandma used to collect aprons and my mom has them all packed away in a cedar chest. I think I will go pull them out just to see them again. I especially LOVE your owl.

I'd heart thrifting too if I ever found something half as good as your score today. FUN!

Oh, I love that owl apron... most worthy of a frame. I have a penchant for all things owly - AND love those lurid colours! Wonderful...

[jessie]

I love vintage aprons! I have never come across one "in the wild," but a friend of mine was getting rid of one that had been in her family and I snatched it up. I actually wear it; is that part of the deal? Or are these for display? I can just see them on the clothesline whipping in the wind. :-)

[Lynne]

They are just perfect aprons! i do love them, and wish they were part of my collection! What a buy!

[Claire]

that owl is so adorable, I love pink and orange. I like your idea for the $20 thrift challenge..
