I have been waiting patiently for this package to arrive. Wait until you see the contents, so gorgeous, so yummy, so vintage. I have been drooling over Holly's art aprons for a long time and just couldn't take it any longer. She posted an apron she had made a few weeks ago and it put me completely over the edge. Bam!!!! Off I went, fired off an email and asked her if she could create an art apron for me in white, creams, very vintage shabby..Holly got back to me immediately and said she could get started in a few days. I told her I wanted to be surprised and create whatever she wished in my vintage style. Oh my gosh, you are going to flip when you see this beauty. Are you ready???? Don't be jealous, I am sure she would love to create something for all of you.
Isn't this the most beautiful apron you have ever seen. Swoon!!! Go here and check out her awesome blog
http://hollylovesart.blogspot.com/ she is so sweet and kind, a beautiful lady! Gotta love her sweet doggie too.
Okay, I have big plans today. A sweet girl that I work with has asked me to go over to her great uncle's house that was left to her father. She wants me to check out all the old books, paper, photos and STUFF that her father says is JUNK and is going to be heading for the DUMPSTER...She thought I just might like to save some of these goodies from going through the trash compacter. Off I go, stay tuned.

Debby, this is truly the most beautiful apron I have ever seen - lucky lucky you. Not one to wear when making bolognaise sauce! I'll have to go and look at Holly's site to be wow-ed by her creations. x
OMG - yes, I am drooling and jealous. AND then you tell me you get to go pre-Dumpster searching before items hit the Dumpster! OH NO, sweetie, you are going to have such a fab day while I sit in an office..... hmmmm. Sometimes, life is not fair and I am so happy for you! Hugs, girlfriend! (PS, keeping with the beautiful creamy colors in your post - word verication: promilk! LOL)

Lace and doilies and jewelry bits . . . . . OHHHHH MYYYY!!!! Debby, your apron is gorgeous and sooooo romantic! Fabulous! I can see why you wanted one of your own. Have fun finding stuff today. I KNOW you will!! LOL! Hugs, Terri xoxo
WOW WOW WOW, it is utterly fantastic! I am a long time admirer of her amazing creations as well. You are a lucky girl to own one.
Debby, you know we love all the lace and shabby that went into your apron. I love aprons! When I walk around in mine, the pockets hold string, ribbon, scraps, the man of the house snickers because I don't really cook. He doesn't get it. LOL
Your apron is beautiful and have fun going through all the paper and books, lucky you!
Whow, I'm so jealous, Debby, both of the delicious apron and of the junk clearing out session. Have lots of fun and I'll bet you will come up with some treasure trove!
That apron in gorgeous! I would be afraid to ever wear it( I might spill spaghetti sauce on it or something). Holly did a wonderful job. Wear it well.
Dina
Hi sweet Debby,
Your apron is GORGEOUS!!! Yes! It is the most gorgeous apron I have ever seen! Holly is so creative and did a beautiful job!!!! It is really stunning! I love the photo of her wearing it. It does look great with her jeans! The sweet details are amazing!
So glad your sweet friend invited you to collect all the vintage goodies, before they were *GASP* thrown away! Have fun!
Love, Paula
Love the apron. Wow, that should be fun going through all that stuff. Hope you find some great items :)
Hi Debby!
Thanks so much for such a sweet post. I am so thrilled that you love your art apron. As you know, I just adored making it for you. I am so inspired to make more shabby chic goodness!
Hope you're having a wonderful weekend.

Beautiful apron! You are fortunate for sure. Have fun on the "treasure" hunt. May you come home with loads of goodies. :-)
My artist friend, Janet, had that opportunity a few months ago. Family was trying to clean out their mom's "junk." Turns out their mom was a creative. Janet, who does wonderful collages, returned to her studio with some marvelous "junk," and has gone on to create some really cool stuff! Can't wait to see what treasures you uncover!
No wonder you are over the moon about this apron! I is totally gorgeous and puts me in mind to make one too.
Darn that you have to go sort through some ones old worthless stuff........NOT!
You are one lucky girl!
Hugs,
Terri
Ohmygod, Debby, I wish I could join you. I love old ephemera and books!
Have a blast. The apron is wonderful, wear it in good health!

Absolutely stunning! I hope you uncovered a treasure trove. It is so nice that your co-worker thought of you instead of letting any junk hit the dumpster before it is carefully sifted through!

The apron is gorgeous!!! I had to laugh at your story about your golden retriever! I can't tell you how many times I have opened the back door to find any one (and sometimes all three-yikes) of the dogs caked in mud and dirt on their faces and paws:).
Blessings,
Kim
