Grace---I got the package today and I am delighted. The apron is lovely and I am wearing it right now. It is too pretty to wear, but I love it and It will make a great apron when I start my task of summer canning. How did you know my kitchen is green and yellow---LOL. Thanks so much. It has made me very happy as I rarely hear from people. I even ventured into Walmart today and it was crowded and horrid as usual and as my friend always says after she comes out of there---"The people ---They look so ugly". And myself included I'm sure. LOL and so glad to get home to the peace of the creek. Keep on Keepin on!

Dawn... I was out the other day with a gal-pal, junktiquing... and I went through nearly every book... not a single N.D... I suspect they are much coveted ...
How wonderful that you still have your collection.

What a wonderful gift package! Love the aprons and the vintage patterns. Nancy Drew was my favorite growing up. I loved the old ones and still have my collection from my childhood.
Enjoy the summer!

I will certainly look forward to that! I have to go to the dentist on Thursday---so that will give me something to anticipate and not dread the dentist so bad. And contrary to popular belief West Virginias do have teeth---although a lot of mine are crowns---ha,ha. Always have to get a hillbilly joke in. I find us humorous. We are last in all the good things and first in all the bad. Beckley---the town we shop in--got in the ten worse cities to live in, in the USA> Although I like it myself and even lived there a couple of years in college. A junior college because like I said I am not the sharpest tool in the shed.

Can't believe it got there that fast. I will look for some more of the books with the fifties pics on them for you. It makes me happy that you are happy. Now this happy girl has to take her dogs on a walk. I stop by a deep place in the creek and feed the creek chubs---fish---every morning unless the creek is up. They come running when I call them and they can heard my footsteps as I approach. My husband laughs and says that now I have the fish spoiled. I think he gets sick of me and all my animal treats all day long. But they sure do love me! I was late coming home yesterday and I have never heard such a welcome---howling and yapping and crying sounds. It is nice to be loved by four legged creatures.

Grace---I don't see an email from you. My computer was not taking my emails right until I updated my account. Maybe you should try again.

Actually---I used to treasure my vintage patterns and I don't know how I ever got so many, but now I just feel sorry for them. I wish I knew what I should do with them. Any ideas? I know that places online sell them. My will is made to my nephew in Ohio and he sure isn't going to want them. Grace---I will mail you the books and pattern as soon as I can get out of here. No need to send postage---I am just trying to give some things to people that would enjoy them.

I also love old patterns, Barbara. I have quite a few, but definitely no where near 865 of them. I probably have 50 or so. You are so lucky to have that many. And I have a lot of newer apron patterns - many I have never made. I have one I got that looks so cute and ruffled, and then I realized how much fabric it used and haven't made it yet. LOL!

I have been so busy I didn't have time to answer you. I will mail your pattern to you when I can get to the PO. Email me your address when you get time and I will get it there. I counted my old patterns and I have 865 of them mostly from the forties and fifties. I about fainted. I know they will just be thrown away when I die. Very sad.

Grace---I have a wonderful apron dress pattern from 1952. It is a halter wrap dress. It is bust 32. When I was younger I wore this size. You look slim and that you might could wear this. I am not fat---just a bit plump for my height. It says all here on the back. I doubt if you would want it but I would mail it to you if you do. I have hundreds of old patterns---how I wish that you could see them. I also have an 80's or 90's apron dress pattern---a wrap halter dress.

Grace---it seems to me that if you can sew a lot better than I can; that maybe you could use a jumper pattern to make this apron---just modify it. I had an aunt who could sew like this. She could make dresses from a picture. This would be easy if you are talented that way. I sure am not---although when I was younger I could sew really hard patterns. That me is long gone---replaced by a burned out chore ridden old farm woman. LOL.
