Romantic Shabby Aprons

I love wearing romantic aprons when I entertain.  These aprons are all made by my friend Annie G

Mary Rose Funky
I am having a giveaway and my friend Annie G is going to give one of my readers an
Apron of their choice!

Captured in time
That's right, you pick any apron 

Rose garden tea ruffled
You don't have to be a follower 

(of course I won't turn anyone away)
Vintage Style Flapper

Maybe you would rather have a Ruffles and Roses Market Bag


Or a Shabby pink pin cushion


Annie has been sewing her whole life and makes all of her lovely creations in her cottage.
I first met Annie when I saw her website and thought I would take a chance and ask her where she got her gorgeous fabric, she told me, and we have been friends every since.
Annie's business has grown by word of mouth

Annie's attention to detail and extraordinary ability to coordinate fabrics keeps customers coming back for more.

All you have to do is pick one apron, market bag, or any of Annie's other lovely creations from this post or Annie's store and leave a comment with your choice.
( Mommy and me aprons not included in this giveaway)  

Choose wisely, 
What you choose in your comment is what you win!!!

 A random drawing will be held March 28th 

Drawing closed Congratulations to Stacy@ Stacy's ShabbyShoppe

Pressure...Pressure...Pressure!

Good Luck!

    Wow, I spent ages and ages and ages just gazing at them all! They are SO beautiful! Thank you for sharing Annie's page - she has a gift!
    I am like others, I couldn't choose - but in the end I chose the Old Fashioned Ruffled Bib Apron.

    (I do live in New Zealand, so perhaps I cannot be in this draw... but all the same I had a marvelous time choosing!)

    Carol I am blown away with the amazing generous give away you are offering. I fell in love with Annie G's cottage and her sewing style of aprons, bags, pin cushions and fabric selections. I cannot stop drooling over the "Springtime in Paris" retro waist apron. I can see me wearing this to the market and any other errand shopping as it is so fabulous! So that is my choice is I am fortunate enough to be selected. Happy Springtime...(in Paris?)...

    Hi Carol...nice to meet you!

    I would be honored & thrilled to win one of Annie G's Aprons, especially that pretty vintage one with the vertical stripes...slimming, ya' know. LOL
    But, the rose garden tea ruffles is tempting, too!! Her stuff is simply gorgeous AND I simply adore her little cottage!! I'll have to spend another hour checking out her place too.
