Vintage Christmas Aprons

So, I had all of these plans for Christmas-related posts for the month of December but... I had lots of take-home finals (you know, the kind that are actually papers in disguise). Anyway, I am finally done with school forever and have a chance to write a post!! Here is one I have been planning a while.
 
I recently purchased this amazing vintage-y Christmas apron.
I love the battenburg lace detail on the corners.
 
 Here's an apron that was featured in the December 2002 Martha Stewart Living.
It's made out of white cotton organdy and twisted red and white rick rack.
 
Here's some more amazing vintage aprons


 

 
 Here's an article on aprons through the decades.
 
Shabby Apple also recently wrote a post about aprons. You can read it here.

Obsession Monday: Lauren Bacall's Eyebrows

What I wouldn't give for some eyebrows like these...
 
 
 
 
 

Turning on the glamour

Rockin' some plaid
 
Relaxing
How she was "discovered"

With Bogie
 
First Lauren Bacall movie I watched-it's GOOD
 
Trying out different hairstyles for To Have or Have Not
(I'm glad they picked the one they did! It's amazing how much older some
of these hairstyles make her look. And she was only 19!!)
