Inspired by lace ...Romancing the Apron

Abbey and I have loved lace for as far back as I can recall ... before it's popularity we were buying it up and creating with it ...because we loved it, and that's all that mattered.

Our Love of lace has drawn us in many directions ..from creating curtains and valances out of vintage tablecloths ..or using a quaker Lace tablecloth over a solid colored sheet on a bed for a wonderfully romantic appeal .. to name a few uses.

In 2010 ...we became enamored with the idea of creating Aprons from our vintage lace ..and layering it and layering it until it was absolutely scrumptious .. In so doing our Sweet Magnolias Farm Vintage Girl Aprons ...came about ...

This Beautiful Vintage Lace Apron ...is one of my newest Inspirations ... which will be available soon in our Etsy Shop ...

The layers of creamy white laces in their beautiful textures are postively stunning ...

A Vintage Doily and Mother of Pearl buttom make a sweet Little Pocket ...

While a sweet cast-off doily decorates the waist line ....

An Old Buckle and blanket binding ...Add character and Vintage Style .. Farmhouse Bling !

And an Apron that has vintage flair is ready to wear ..with Blue Jeans or that Long Cotton skirt or dress ..and some cute cowboy boots or your favorite sandals ...

A Super cute outer accessory ...

A Great Vintage Style for serving your dinner Guest ..what a conversation piece it becomes ..

And later a cute farmhouse Decor piece hung on an old coat hook on the side of your old cupboard ..

Lace Inspires us ...

We search for it everywhere we go ...

Estate Sales are fun to hunt for it ... Here's a few finds we happened on at one...

Lace such a romantic feeling it gives ..

It's Vintage appeal and it's years of age .. take you back to a simpler time ..but inspire you to put it to use in a more modern way for today ...

I hope today brings you inspiration ...
