Todays news...

 The gossip around the shop is that the studio just expanded the mens prints. I hope there's something with hammers. It would just make good sense.

Autumn

I swear it was 90 degrees a week ago and now its in the 40's in the morning. What gives? What happened to Fall?  It's not summer,winter. There's suppose to be Fal. I'm not giving up my Tour. They can take out the air conditioner, and even put on the heat in the morning but I am going on a Fall foliage tour. It's me and leaves and some awesome locations.

Fall Foliage

Well Friends,
My trip is confirmed! I will be taking a tour of Vermont's Fall Foliage. The other big cheese of the Company is even coming to town to to help me. If anyone has a favorite place to me to tour and photograph, let me know!

~Wes

Fall is coming.

 It is. The 23rd of this month is Fall and I was told, yes, practically promised, that I would be doing a Fall Foliage tour of the area to add to our marketing and advertising.

I better remind someone.

Frank may be in the window all the time.
But I get to go in the car!

hmmm...

I may just need a jacket....and probably a map.

Bats

Ok, so there was a bat sleeping on the doorstep when the staff came in...or tried to.. yesterday. I would have helped but I'm busy standing here looking awesome so guys will buy an Apron. I'm in sales afterall not maintainence, that's what the building manager is for and he stepped it up and was quite a hero. I heard he even did the kind-to-animals thing and released it out back. Nice guy.

It's Fall.

Yep, it's Fall and if you have been around here the last few years, you'll know what this means. Its means leaves all over the floor. Fall is when they decide to cover the front steps with pots of colored flowers.
What you don't know is that at night, all the flowers get set inside and then they drop leaves all over the floor and leak water. The floor ends up a mess.

And you may notice the girls in the window are suppose to be cleaning. Let me tell you, they aren't moving, I can still write my name in the dust. I guess it will match the dead leaves on the floor.

Wedding Aprons

Wedding Aprons, what can I say....it's a woman's thing really, isn't it?

  

Wedding aprons, there they are. I'll have more to say when the grilling aprons are back.

Balloon

Hello,

 The quality of this picture is terrible but I still wanted to show it to you. It's a hot air balloon that was sailing across the sky during a photoshoot. Can you see it? Cool, huh?

Vermont is a nice place for sailing in the wind.

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.

~Wes

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.
