Charming Flamingo Apron Giveaway
I have been playing around with the patterns and ideas in A Is for Apron by Nathalie Mornu. Lots of good inspiration in there! So much so that I was inspired to create this Charming Flamingo Apron, which I am now going to give away in honor of my 1000th post. The flamingo fabric is a rayon/linen blend, the polka dot pockets are cotton, and best of all, there is a sterling silver flamingo charm tucked into one of those dotty pockets.
This should fit a wide range of sizes--in fact, it's tied its tightest on Lucille's 28" waist. So lots of room through the middle! The neck straps button with a vintage pink button.
Dear readers, I am grateful for each of you! Leave your name in the comment hat to win a delicious package. I'll draw on Tuesday, September 16, at noon Central time.

It is a beautiful apron! The flamingos are so cute. I have just recently been introduced to the loveliness of an apron. There are times I have been tempted to wear mine out in public. They are just too handy.

Everything you do is lovely, Anna. Count me in!
How fun! I'm just getting into cooking and baking a lot and am quickly realizing that one apron is simply not enough!

Hello. My name is Lucille (waist 31") and I live in London. I'm new to the world of blogging but I liked your positive and sunny outlook so I looked you up again today. Your pinny looks sweet, so please would you be kind enough to enter my name in the draw?
I have gotten so much sewing inspiration from your site, and love the apron! So cute!
What fun! I love all your designs and creative touches.
C is for...Cute! I love this apron and it would be a great gift for my sister, whose married surname is Flemming. She collects all things flamingo. Thanks for a fun drawing!

Beautiful apron! Ruth, a long-time reader of your blog.
One Thousand??? Holy Cow -- that's awesome. Congratulations!!!!
Congratulations on your 1,000th post. Here's to hoping for another 1,000!
Putting my name in the hat...

I have always wanted to learn to sew and you inspire me with all you do! I would be proud to wear something so beautiful.
I love your blog, read it everyday.
Please enter me in the drawing.
I love, love, love Flamingoes! Fridays are usually Flamingo Friday on my blog. I've been looking for an apron, as well. I'd love to purchase one if you choose someone else for the giveaway. Pick me! Pick me!
I like the flattering design of it. I imagine it will give that nipped in waist look with the front v-design and contrasting inserts on the sides. With all the baking I do, a slim waist illusion is much needed. Hope to win:)
The apron is absolutely beautiful. I love your blog and check it daily. God Bless, Patty
What an adorable apron! I love it!
I would love to be entered into your drawing. I enjoy visiting your site for the inspirational photos and writing.
What a beautiful apron, and what a generous give-away! Please add me!

Wow... this reminds me of something which could have been in my grandmother or great-grandmother's kitchen! They lived in Buffalo NY, where flamingos are the most common decoration on everything. It's like a flash-back to my childhood - Thank you!

Congrats on the 1000th post!
I've been blogging for almost 2 years and haven't even hit 200!

What a wonderful apron! I checked the A is for Apron book out of the library, but haven't made anything yet. I am a constant lurker and admire you and your family--God's blessings always. Susan
Super cute!!
I am so excited! Our computer crashed and died months ago and I had your blog on my bookmarks. Whenever I wanted to have a quiet, restful look at life and the joy of family I'd often check out your site. I thought it was lost forever but a website this morning sparked my memory and here you are! Thank you for your encouraging and creative way you love your family and life, God is so good.
I was given some old Laura Ashley fabric, about 20 yards, recently and decided I'd make aprons for Christmas presents this year. It was fun going onto your site and seeing your inspirational creativity. Now, how to come up with several ways to use this fabric. I'd love to be in the drawing for yours! Blessings!
Oh, how cute! Please count me in.
Oh how wonderful. Please count me in!

Just found your blog and LOVE it. The apron is adorable and I would love to give it a home!
I love your blog. It is a delight to read. I inherited a few aprons made by my grandmothers in the early 1900s. I wear them all the time. I've stopped saving things. Life is too short. Would love to begin wearing your lovely apron, too. Add me to the drawing. Thanks.
I feel a little selfish even commenting, because I already own the most wonderful green apron with pink hippopotami on it! I have a feeling that they'd be great friends.
The photos of your sewing has inspired me to start my machine up again!
Too cute!
---Gina
Love it...hope to wear it!!
Oh,oh,oh. Dear daughter would LOVE that apron: flamingos AND polka dots.
As long as I'm delurked, I'll take the opportunity to tell you that your blog always soothes and inspires on those days when life is hectic and overwhelming. Thank you.
Hi Anna,
My first time reading. I love the apron, so I had to comment. I found your blog through a link on Laurel Saul's blog.
Bessie
Beautiful, Anna.
Oh how adorable. Thanks for doin this give away--what fun!! tammyp
You've always been an inspiration to me - in my blogging, and in my feeble attempts to sew.
I can feel your pain in sending Giles to college. I have sent off 4, with 7 more to go ...and I'd be lying if I told you it got easier.
Love the apron, as do 366 other people! (so far....)
I love reading your blog!

Happy 1000 posts!

Anna, (that also happens to be my daughter's name. She's 4 going on 17) I have truly enjoyed following your blog since about last February. When I feel housework becoming dull, I peek into your blog life and remember the beautiful things that make every moment so enchanting. Wearing a pretty apron while doing a mundane task does tend to make one whistle while they work, doesn't it? What fun! Thank you for including me in the draw.
