thanks sew much

My milestone 200th post was my previous post.  Oh well...any post is a good reason to thank everybody with a little celebration giveaway.

I received a few copies of "Apronisms - Pocket Wisdom for Every Day" from EllynAnne Geisel.  EllynAnne sent them as a thank you for contributing a vintage linen story to her new book.  About the same time the books arrived, I scored a big group of aprons with pockets at my thrift store.  I'd love to give a copy of the sweet little book along with an apron to one of my blog friends.  I don't think the apron is vintage but it is handmade and really cute.

I also have new postcards from my latest collage and added the phrase "thanks sew much".  Using the word "sew" is still making me smile...but I'm easily entertained.  And so thankful again for how far this little blog has taken me.

Now, I love giveaways but don't like the wait...so I'll pick a winner for the apron and book and 2 more winners for a set of postcards tomorrow afternoon and update this post.

Just leave a comment and you're entered.  Do you have an "apronism" or momism to share?  The only one I can think of comes after a big garbage disposal repair last night...."If you see a quarter go down the disposal, tell Mom".

update...

liz (mabel's house) has won the apron and book

goody-goody and sally have won the postcards

I just stumbled upon your blog ... what perfect timing! Can't wait to explore : )

Always love your creativity--but which thrift store do you frequent in North County?

Oh man, the quarter thing does not sound fun! LOL

I was just thinking about apronisms yesterday. Why don't I own it yet? And I never made it to the bookstore yesterday either.
LOL

(And maybe you'd like to join the vintage apron swap? Easy peasy details on blog.)

I share your love of these vintage sewing images (if you could see my eBay account you would know I speak the truth!) and I am truly inspired by your artwork. I don't know if this is considered an "apronism" but the first phrase I think of when I think of an apron is "Let's tie one on!" or simply "Tie one on."
Keep blogging,
Gina

When you see your one-year-old put on oven mitts, remove him from the kitchen. ;)

Congratulations on your 200th and 201st posts!

My mom used to tell us that when she said something was hot (like a boiling pot on the stove), we needed to just trust her and not test it out for ourselves. My sister and I both learned the hard way one time -- and never again. :-)

Yay on your milestone! That's something to celebrate! My favorite mom-ism? When we'd ask for yet another snack..

"It's good to be hungry."

Nice, huh?
