Handmade aprons and home decor for those who appreciate all things shabby and chic... Then I had twin boys in 2005. Even without using Magic Markers...

I am an English teacher who loves to scrapbook, and has recently taught herself to sew. I am in love with aprons, and all things vintage... After a magical childhood of making purses from Kleenex colored with Magic Markers (they didn't hold up well) and stints at cross stitching (it simply made me cross) and making clothes for my cats out of washcloths, I grew older, put my Magic Markers in a box

of ever-increasing craft supplies, earned a degree in Education. I became a high school English teacher who enjoyed putting pretty fonts on assignment sheets and awesome graphics in my powerpoint presentations. After trading in Shakespeare for Sesame Street for five years, I am now back in the classroom, but still find time to make pretties for the local Farmers Market. Now my box with Magic Markers had long since morphed into a studio filled with crafts and pretties... my refuge. My love of vintage is balanced with my sense of play with whimsical touches, and my artwork will find its way into your heart.

Newest half apron... I discover this lovely, vintage, hand-painted linen and incorporated it into this whimsical apron. I added some handmade fabric roses and stitched on some sweet little buttons...

08/13/2014

One more :) I made this half apron using this fabulous vintage kitchen towel from 1957. The colors and graphics are extraordinary, and the fabric is incredibly soft...
