I have been working away on some of the final touches for Mini-Mini-Me's birthday party, which as you may recall from my previous post is going to be a cake-decorating party at one of our favorite bakeries. I really wanted to add a bit of vintage flair to this party and I thought that aprons would be the perfect way to accomplish this.
I contemplated sewing them myself (as I had for Mini-Me's cake decorating party several years ago), but the whole point of having a "not at home" party this year was to make life a bit easier for Moi - so, I nixed that. :-) Instead, I spent hours on-line and running around town looking for the perfect aprons. I wasn't having much luck and then I found these...
Aren't they adorable! I just love all the bright, happy colors and the wonderful mixture of vintage-style patterns.
The details on these are fantastic - sweet ruffles, ric rack, and fabric-covered buttons.
For a little extra girliness, I decided to add some pretty flowers that I found at the craft store.
I just love how they all look together and I can't wait see all the girls dressed up in them!
* If you want some for your next party, head on over to Marshalls, HomeGoods, or TJ Maxx - it took me a total of about five trips to find all the best patterns, but I think you will agree that it was well worth it!
Happy Friday!

Would you mind sharing the price range for these? Love them!

I had my hands all over the aqua blue apron with teeny tiny ball fringe. I loved it but left it there, is it meant to be mine? YOur aprons look awesome with the flower pins, cute idea!
