Aprons

Do you wear an apron when you cook?
Often I do. I love them I think they remind me of a time gone by. I thought I would show you some of my aprons.
Modeled by my lovely daughter Larisa on the right and our lovely friend Anna!
Larisa is in a vintage one pocket, with a loop neck.

Anna has on a monogrammed apron made with vintage look fabric, made by my step mom Rachel. The S is for Shannon..... or sassy I forget!

Both of these are also made by Rachel,  aren't they the cutest things! Both the girls and the aprons.



This is a store bought regular ole apron but with great monogramming. (also done by Rachel)


You see being a Southern Belles With Northern Roots I have to blend cultures, the Uff da is a Norwegian saying comparable to Oh MY or OH NO, or Heaven's to Betsy....even oh Please!

                             Mississippi Belle

This handsome young man is my son Stephan, we saved the manly aprons for him. hmmm manly aprons....is that an oxymoron? 




Some roosters and a seafood gumbo recipe!   Get cookin y'all!
 I would love to hear about your favorite apron you wear, please leave a comment and stop by North Dakota kitchen for a tour of my kitchen and some great recipes to whip up!~
While you there enter the giveaway on the side bar for $25 in Watkins products to be given away July 12.

Rescued Rockers

I love Rocking Chairs!


Won't you come and sit a spell.
This year on clean up week.....the one week we can throw out all kinds of garbage!, I found this.....
Well.....One might pass it by but NO, I had my husband reglue and do some sanding and now it looks like this.
Isn't she pretty?
I did the painting.
Last year I rescued this from a garage sale for 50 cents!
a few coats of red paint and viola!

Only the yellow and red rocker actually stay on the porch, the other two are in the house....but I think the yellow one may make it in there soon.
I am joined on the deck by this sweet cardinal.
and my sweet daughter.



Let's do coffee.
 Do you take cream?



Have a great day. Enjoy!

Stop on over to Funky Junk Interiors for more great projects.
