Bib Aprons, a Tradition

I was told recently that the real tradition is the Bib Apron. They had some in the store once in awhile. They sold really well so this year they have a collection. Take a look! I guess because they quilted the top and used differnt prints, it's a big deal. http://vermontapron.com/Bib_Aprons.html

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!

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.

Tour Our Store

Here in the Vermont Apron Company Store, we do sell a few items you maybe weren't aware we had. We have really fun pajama pants in flannel as you can see by these two hanging out in their pajamas all day. They look like they sit around and gab all day don't they? Really, we do work hard around here. It's just hard to catch it on film.

We make teacozies and to help you fill it, we have teapots for sale and tea,too! No one wants to be caught with an empty Cozy. Oh,yeah, there's some apron art on the walls.

Who knew little girls were so excited to cook. They are! We get lots of very short little ladies in here pleading to Mom or Dad to buy them an apron. I say Let them help! Share the housework! Buy them an apron and give the poor kids a chance to shine! No sense keeping all that work for yourself, every kid should have an apron and get a chance to do housework!




Here in the very back place of the store is Carpetbag world. We call it Carpetbag World as its a very different place than the rest of the store; no cottton, no ties, no bright colors.,,,, just heavy chenille, zippers and dark warm looking fabrics. Knitters and women who travel shop here. The drawstring handbags are new. Carpet Bags have their own website...Susannahallen.com.


And we also have Apron Art!

If you like to see Aprons in action, we do have a good selection of Apron prints.

It's fun to browse the rack. You get to see Aprons in all kinds of settings.

Well, that's my tour for today, nice to see you and glad you stopped by!
