Frank in the Window

This is Frank.

If you haven't met him before, he's special.

He has lots of joints and can move more then me.

He was flown in from Germany.

He's wearing the new mens Long Host Apron.

Frank is in the window. I'm in the Mens Department of the store.

We're practically back to back.

We can hear each other grumble.

Frank likes to think he's a photographer.

Oh sure, his arms are jointed, they bend and do all sorts of fancy moves,

but photographers have an eye for it.

Franks still trying to figure out how the tripod works.

Peeking over Frank's shoulder, I understand what he's about right now.

I was in the window once,too.

You get to watch the sights and activites of the city.

It's exciting, new and a bit scary.

In the end, all we mannequins can do is watch

the big city and its city activites from here

in this window.

Bibs, Bags and Napkins

Who knew you could be refined with a bib? Some people expect to. There are people out there that use Adult bibs and expect to stay clean....eating in the car, business lunches and who knows what else but for these customers, we went a step further and made napkins and a carry bag for them. Yup, we now have Bib Bags and Napkin sets.

Here's what a Bib Bag looks like. We used the napkin for a tiny table cover. It's a fairly big napkin.

Here's a bunch of them displayed in the store.

They got put next to the Bibs. Idea being that you choose a Bib and then a Bag Set to match.

Pretty good I guess for $12.

Happy Halloween!

No Holiday goes un-celebrated at The Vermont Apron Company.

Here's a few shots of how we are celebrating this year.

No idea who this character is...

but bringing your things to the counter takes a bit of bravery.

There is an apron under her beard.

ME!!!
I know, I look good!




Little Miss Muffet is getting confused with Rapunzel.
Oh well, She does have an Apron on, that's what's important.


Rapunzel, I mean, Little Miss Muffet and Little Red Riding Hood
with Grandmother.




Frank has the Big Chef head on and Ginger is spinning..

..as always... it's her only pose.



Here's a shot of our windows....almost... I missed the far right
but it was cold out and I hurried.

EEKKK!!! It's Patty!!!

again... in a lovely Apron.

Have a great Halloween!

Modeling..

Have you ever wanted to be a model? Its a lot more fun than you probably think. On camera most models look stern, stone faced, or bored as hell. Not me, ok, I'm not a model, I'm a mannequin but I'm smiling.... and I really think it's because I work for The Vermont Apron Company. It's a fun place! Here's some pics of the models behind the scenes from our photoshoot.

There was a lot of laughing.

There was running up and down old stone stairs.

There was dancing in the street....isn't that a song?

There was hat pulling.

There was peeking in windows.

The cows were very friendly. We petted them.

We hung in trees.

There was wrestling and more laughing.

There was more hat pulling.

In the end, we gave up on hats.

A Big Tree

We were taking pictures of the Gathering Bag Aprons in the Gardens.

Afterwards we found this humongeous tree!

The girls lost site of each other.

Thank goodness I was there to direct them.

Ok,..I admit...the model on the left is hiding on purpose.

Who said modeling isnt fun?

The model on the right must think her friend

went up into the tree by the way she's looking.

Finally they found each other...only to spot a cute guy on a 4-wheeler.

I cant ride those things, my legs dont bend.

Thanks for visiting

Old Stone Museum,Orleans,Vermont

We had our first professional photoshoot....finally.... took years of planning. We had a great location. I admit the scenery was well chosen. I got to go. I am, after all, pretty important to the company. Me, a photographer and two models worked hard all afternoon. Here's my shots., they're the critical ones after all.

First I introduced the place with a great shot of their sign.

The models felt left out

and got themselves into the next shot.

I let 'em.

They wanted to pose close to me.

But truth be told, they're cuddling up cuz they're cold.

Notice their long sleeves? Dusk was coming on and they were getting chilly.

I was nothing more than a warm body to stand near.
It was ok, look how happy they are with me.

I had to pose in front of all the signs. I asked the girls how I was doing.
They gave me the thumbs up. I felt good.

I told them they had to step aside and let me work.
This is the important sign with the hours and such.
We don't want silliness here.

Although I put on my best smile to show people

what a good time I had here.

I thought it would be a good idea to show the address.
So I stood in front of the mailbox.
I would have gotten the mail but my arms dont bend.
The girls said not to worry, they were their to help

It was a good day. I did a great job.
I'll have more shots to come im my next post.

Adult bibs

Hey All,

This week we saw some shuffing around the store. Housedresses are coming in. They need a place to hang. Bibs look crammed together in their old place. The store is getting a bit if a shuffling. Bib now hang on 4 new bars. They even divided them into groups of men, womens, short and long. I like it, I think it's an improvement. I got a shot for you.

Sheath Apron

Frank gets to be window mannequin again. They said I was better at greeting people in the store and that Frank's arms are fragile so he needs to be safe by himself in the window... I admit I'm the friendlier of the two of us. Anyways, he's showing off the Sheath Work Apron they made. Its double layered with pockets on both side. It's a long apron that goes past the knee.

It ties in the back.

Here it is on Mary, the studio dress form. Women can wear the Sheath as well as the guys. It's so plain, anyone can wear it for working.

So that's Mary, she works in the studio. Everything starts with Mary, then it comes to me, here at the store. She looks good in the Sheath, too.

Here's me,they's right, I am friendlier looking.

Housedresses

Here at Vermont Apron Co, they like to make new things a lot and this week they showed me a Housedress....I got sort of an in-house bulletin with a photo for you. A House dress, according to the bulletin is a loose fitting comfy dress that ladies can wear around the house and still look good enough to answer the door or run a quick errand. It's basically a slip over the head deal with a few ties but there's lace,too, so you got that pretty thing going on. So here you go... photos of our version of the Housedress, soon to be added to the website....(soon because of something about the shopping cart, models and stuff, I'm told). Anyways, here's a few sneak peek photos for you.

Thanks for visiting,

~Wes

Frank in Hats
