Women and their hair.

Here at The Vermont Apron Company Retail store, it's important that we look good for you. We go to great lengths to dust ourselves, wear tee-shirts that match the Aprons and we even do our hair.Well, I dont. My hair is fixed and painted red. Frank is bald so he can play with wigs at times. And the women, well, they just run rampart when hit comes to hair. They switch wigs, wear hats and headbands,too. Here's a good example of how just adding a wig makes you look years younger and frankly a lot more fun!

Before.....with only molded hair...prissy and uninteresting.

After... with a gorgeous wig...now playful and flirty....ok, she could use a good hair brush.

I'm stunned.

 I hit the big time. My perfect presentation has paid off. Look around here. They gave me my own show....at least that's what it feels like right now. My own sign, my new walls...that's how I feel. I have my own show!


I swear my smile is even bigger now.

Losing a Grip

You know, I've been standing here for a couple years now. Oh sure, once in a while I head over to the counter or pose in the window,...(when Frank moves)...anyways, It's all kind of the same, not to much happens. Men's Department stays Mens, and so forth. But suddenly someone has a bee in their bonnet. Just take a look at me in this photo.... See anything different? (besides my incredible smile and relaxed demeanor.)

Of course you do! What is that over my head? This is the Men's Department, so who was at the meeting that decided aprons that aren't Men's would be above my head? I never got the memo, folks! Would have been there!

And as if that isn't enough, someone hung a Patchwork Bib Apron on our rack! Oh sure, they moved it later when they were done with the display but really, I thought we had bounderies. I mean, what is going to happen next? There better not be a ruffle near me.

Gardens and Cooking and Betty

As you all know I am the key personality at our retail store. I haven't met her so I can't say much about her, but we now have a women reporting from the studio part of our company. Her name is Betty. Let's give Betty a welcoming applause!...(thunderous applause)... She'll report on aprons in the making and also the going-ons at that location....I hear they also garden and cook there. Here's the link to her blog.

Grooms' Apron

Is it me or is Frank looking particularly dapper lately?

There is a rumor going around that we'll be selling formal wear aprons soon....I'm guessing Frank's wearing the first of a collection. I guess with the moustache and being older, they give that opportunity to him instead of me. hmmmm......

Signs....

You can always tell when the windows are getting a facelift. Suddenly, without warning, you look around the store and see body parts and dresses in strange places... not that there are unstrange places to leave body parts...

Spring

They're getting ready to dress the girls for Spring.

Frank is feeling left out.

To make him feel special, they gave him a wig. Geezz....

Signs

I have no clue what they're doing. But I've been around long enough to know how they work. Something's changing, I saw a sign this morning....shoes.... Yup, one of the Girls now has shoes on. Since we opened this store, I was the only one with shoes on. No idea why, never asked. I just accepted it as a given. But suddenly, for no apparent reason, there is a toe sticking out with shoes.

And if you asked me it looks stupid. It doesnt match the dress. Shouldn't we be concentrating on Gardening Aprons? Never mind, I'll just stand over here and keep quiet and smile.

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

Me at Work...

Here's me, hard at work, getting it done.

I'm wearing the long Host Apron. I gotta admit the long Apron makes me look even more dapper than before.

Girls in the store.....

Ginger is wearing the new rayon Apron and twirling. It's what she does and if you'll notice, even her shadow twirls.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You are looking at the very last wide brim flappy hat. And it has the much loved chicken print on the sash. we no longer sell these hats, we sell headbands. You can see them in the jar.

They're going more girlie with short pink aprons.

Come Dress Your Head!

Look at this face filled with worry. She's concerned because she bought an Apron and there was no matching hat. NO MORE! We have matching hats for your head. Not only that but we have 2 styles so far with more to come!

Her head undressed causing a sad face.....:(

The sun shines with happiness while wearing the New Gathered Bonnet!

Sadly, she wishes there were even more hats to wear.

There is! This kerchief is double layered and can be knotted in many styles.

Fashion is abound here at The Vermont Apron Company!

More to report soon.
