I decided to re-sort all my mini aprons… since Autumn I had been pulling them out and not putting them back neatly,, my bad!
I have to be honest ,a couple of them made me cry..
They were from Clare aka Suzihomemaker.
We lost her to cancer … she was such a joy, even with her battle with cancer she had a positive attitude and impact on us…
She was an avid quilter and joined all the quilt block swaps until her cancer took her from us.
My tears are two fold, for our loss of a sweet lady and for joy, that we got to have a part of her in our lives…
Now that my mini aprons are neatly re-organized I can take down the valentines aprons and hang up some St. Patrick Day minis.

Thanks for the encouragement. My minis need a good sorting, too - all jumbled in one plastic container.
Love looking at them and hanging them up seasonally.

Thank you for sharing Clare’s story Grace, I did not know her but she sounds like she was a wonderful woman and Farmgirl sister. Sad loss.
Big Hugs,

My small collection of mini aprons hangs year-round out in my Yellow Rose Cottage. I made a few and the others were gifted to me by Grace "Katmom", Linda "quiltee", and Marilyn "TexasGran". Thanks for the memories.

I have mine “hanging on the line” in my laundry room above my dryer. They make me smile! :)

People touch our lives for a reason, that sometimes we don't know. Hopefully the memories always make you smile. Thanks for sharing all the goodness in everyday little things.

Grace, I am glad you have a few mini aprons from you friend, Clare. It is wonderful to have something tangible to add to your memories of your dear friend.
I love your stash of mini aprons. They look adorable all grouped together too!

Lisa, yes, Clare was a lovely MJF gal... The 2 mini aprons sitting in the first photo, ate from her.
I have hung my minis on dish soap bottles', on bottles of wine, as a banner in my vtg trailer, but mostly I
hang them from a old wash board that my hubby attached small coffee hooks into.

Oh Grace, Clare was so sweet. I have mini aprons from her. I need to dig mine out sort through them too! Now that I have a laundry room it would be cute to hang them up in there. Thanks for sharing and bringing her to mind.

I'm sorry to say I do not remember Clare. She sounds like a beautiful person inside and out. I think she was before I joined MaryJanesFarm.

I agree with Karen.
You should hang them on a line display where you can see and enjoy them.
They are so cute*

Love the aprons Grace! That little crocheted one is beautiful! I have a few from the patriotic swap a while ago but that's it for my collection. I'll have to work on that LOL! This would be a great stash buster project.

Aww Grace, that is such wonderful memories of your friend. It truly is amazing how close of friends so many have become over the years. So many wonderful farmgirls have made a huge impact on my life! All of your aprons are beautiful and I love that even your flamingo gets to participate!
