Maggie loves her hairband. She's a hippie so she picked the flowered one. But I still hang out with her because she's a funny 25 year old hippie. And she goes ice skating with me. And shares cool songs on her ipod. Your loving sister (and best looking one too) Claire

A Whole Pile of Love
A friend of mine gave me a History of the Apron when she heard I was sewing them. It goes something like this:
Every woman used to wear an apron. Out of necessity. Closets weren't packed full of clothes and aprons were easier to wash than dresses. But they were used for so much more than protecting clothes. They doubled as potholders. They dried children's tears and sometimes cleaned out ears. They carried eggs from the coop. They were hiding places for shy ones when company came 'round. They carried kindling in for fires, vegetables for dinner from the garden, apples from the trees. When unexpected visitors drove up the road, they were used to whisk dust off furniture in seconds. Aprons got dirty and probably germy by today's standards. But I don't think anyone ever caught anything from an apron. Just a whole pile of love.
Farmers Market days are over now for the winter, but they'll be back in spring!
