the apron a gift from a dear friend and fellow tea drinkerI’m so glad you dropped by my kitchen!

Let’s pour a cup of tea and swap apron stories for a bit, shall we?

I’ll cut a slice of homemade bread and get out the raspberry freezer jam.

And then, if dinner-time’s a-comin’, I’ll tie on an apron and you can keep me company while I cook.

Sound good?

“Meanwhile, in the pantry, the Story Girl, apron-enshrouded, was being initiated into the mysteries of bread-making.”

    Oh! I used to have a Baby Björn bib like those on your countertop when I was little. I remember them as being just splendid; all the spaghetti and sauce that mysteriously “got lost” on the way up to your mouth could later be retrieved and eaten from the bib =) =)

    As soon as Kieran gets old enough to have solid foods, we’ll get him one of those =)

    You’re so cute! 🙂 I love all the green…especially the green kettle…and the green hair ribbon (you’re so lucky you have red hair! :)). And great quotes… 🙂
