Lucullian delights
Well, I just think I'll join you as I check out all these links.
Thanks so much Ilva. Wonderful round up!! Folks like their aprons!
Oh, I took the photos and never wrote the post... lazy me. :D
Here they are, anyway: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mar...57600724305537/
Everyone else's are so cute! What a great idea, Ilva.
WOW. I am really looking forward to check out all these links.
I have posted my apron story both in The Blue Café and over in my main blog, Britt-Arnhild's House in the Wood. I have just made a link to your blog both places.
Je suis désolé! Moi renoncer ā autour de mon tablier! Je suis tellement une idiote!
Jag er ödslig! Jag glömde omkring min förkläde! Jag er sådan en idiot!
Enough said! I need to find someone to kick me ;o)
Brilliant post though and so much response - I think I have an idea though! ;o) You are truly brilliant at this Ilva, and I thank you all the time for the inspiration
What a lovely, thoughtfully crafted post of all the aprons, Ilva! I am looking forward to checking out all of the links, and discovering "new to me" blogs. 
I've been waiting for this--what a great collection. I don't have aprons myself--I usually use a dishtowel stuck in my waistband if I need one--but maybe I'll post about the vintage tablecloths and dishtowels I collect.
hi ilva. can we do this again? oh look at all these aprons.... wonderful! good job!
Here goes my early-to-bed-night! I have to read all these wonderful posts on aprons! I just love these behind the scenes stories. Thanks for a great idea and a fab round up!
How fun! What a great idea you had!
Never did find my aprons...I really need to do some sorting and throwing...
Ilva, was it some technical issue that prevented you from linking to a photo on my blog? Please, let me know. Can you use this link?

This is such a lovely round up, thank you!
I've put down my apron. I have a cookie and some tea. Now I'm off to read.
Sorry Ilva, I meant this

Ooooo these are pretty... im here from Britt-Arnhild's blog : ) I'd love to share my apron but not sure how. Its my very first (and so far only) apron, the beautiful Stella Maris apron from Kitchon Madonna Aprons. I dont have a digital camera right now, but an older picture of the style is here on her blog:
The pik doesnt do it justice though, it feels so comforting when i put it on. And I think what comforts me most is the Marion theme there. Its so nice to remember that Our Blessed Mother probably did wear an apron of sorts as she went about her chores, helps give us a little daily tangible connection to her : )
Paix,
Wendy
whoops, forgot the pik link, its here:

Great round up Ilva. LOts of interesting stories to read.
I love the photo of Meghan. It's right out of the book I'm reading about perfect Southern ladies. As for Mari's -- hello! I want one!
Congratulations again Ilva! This is such a great event - next time I'll have to get it together to join in!
Thanks for putting forth such effort Ilva, that's A LOT of aprons!!
And Andrea, thanks for the compliment. You and Ilva made my day!
Wow, I's day you need a triple espresso. What a great job. I new there were going to be a lot when I kept seeing all those aprons all over the blogs. Now I'm going to confess, I do have a couple of aprons people have given me but the honest truth is I've never worn even one of them so it seemed so hypocritical to take photos. In fact one day I said to myself "I should just throw all those aprons in the trash right now." Of course I still have them, but I'm still not going to wear them. Or shoes either.
Ok, I see I wrote new when it should have said knew. It's late and I've had a long day.
Whoo~Hoo!
That was quite a round up. You did an amazing job!
Now I'm off to peek at some aprons.
What an amazing collection of so many different aprons. I promise I'll try and remember to wear mine.
Oh, what a lovely round-up and such a great collection! I rarely, rarely wear an apron, but I should! I have several, but now I'm aching to make my own. Not that I am a good seamstress, mind you, but how hard can it be..?
I will send you a picture of a very french one . You are going to love it .
You definitely earned your triple espresso! What a lot of aprons! I forgot to send you mine ... great idea, great round-up, well done Ilva!
Joanna
Awesome lineup!
Paz
What a nice collection of aprons. Thank you for this great event!
I would rather wear a paper bag on my head than wear an apron! X
Brava, Ilva!
Unbelievable. Nice job. (And so much new reading for me to do, thanks.)

Learn from what I teach because this is THE event and it won't happen again.
They will use temptation to sell you that someone will save you, for that's what you want to hear.
You have to save yourself, for we are all responsible for our own relationship with the gods.
Start doing the work.
Interesting comaprisons can be made between how the gods inflicted Christianity upon Europeans and Latinos and how they imposed the institution that is the United States:::
The gods forced Christianity on Europeans, creating necessity. They employed temptive tactics on Latinos, leading them to the missionaries with "civilized luxuries".
The Irish are special:::
1. Defeated the invading rapist pirate Scandanavian Vikings.
2. Were forced into emmigrating to the United States with the Potato Famine (1846-1857) as opposed to falling for temptation (request/comply), religious strife, political unrest, wanting more (greed).
I suspect the Irish are at the top of the "food chain" of necessity, religious strife coming in a distant 2nd. As such the gods accept culpability, having forced them into the migration.
Political strife are just abrasive, arrogant individuals, unwilling to accept the rules of their motherland because of their disfavor.
"(Blah)." I've had it too bad for too long. Fuck you all.
Rock 'n' roll is dead. It primarily taqrgetted an audience less disfavored than this Southern country/western demographic.
Too many of you are proud of the perpetual nature of your music genre. The reality is country'western IS perpetual because the gods hate your guts and want you consumed by this music.
Music is the worst distraction upon poeple because its appeal is maintained over time, unlike other tools they use in the media to prey on the disfavored (movies, etc)::You can listen to your favorite album again and again. Once you've seen a movie there's no reason to see it again.
Blacks be looking up at white trash too::::They'd be wise to improve their lives by upgrading from hip hop to raggae, but they are best served by not listening to music.
Street racers would be smart to take their racing out to the dirt track, but they are best served by refraining from this activity.
BBQ/meatheads would be wise to "Know your cuts of meat" and chose only Kosher beef/chicken, but they'd be best served by becoming vegetarian.
It depends on what you want in life. Either you're going to maintain your lifestyle or you will make the changes needed to optimize your empathy and understanding for others, in the process maximizing the time/priveledge level you will realize on the other planets.
Sorry, that last comment - which was your apron?
What a fantastic roundup! I loved reading the stories on each of the blogs about their memories associated with their aprons. What a great idea!
What a brilliant roundup, Ilva!! Many thanks for hosting this wonderful event.
