Welcome to Pink Saturday in French Lique... If you'd like to see other Pink Saturday posts, visit Miss Beverly's Blog, "How Sweet the Sound" by clicking on the Pink Saturday here...
My little sister, whom I adore, likes to sew. One of the things she likes to sew for me... aprons. I buy and send her fabric (enough to make 2 or 3 aprons), and she in turn makes an apron for me. Here are two that she's made for me in pink... the bright pink with large florals, she gave me for Christmas last month.
Sometimes she even remembers to sew in her little tag that says "Handcrafted by Lili Angelique"...
This one she made me years ago... I wear it all the time...
and then... I sent her several yards of different pink fabrics that I love...
and this was my reward, my Christmas gift 2008. Beautiful isn't it?
and a few weeks before Thanksgiving, I asked her for a special favor. My sweet sister came through for me and so...
this one, made especially for the Panda from my very favorite pink teacup fabric... a gift delivered by Grandma (me) at Thanksgiving. The little yo-yo pin (on Panda's upper left bib), my sister made long ago and matches the apron I wear every day. For years, I just kept it attached with a safety pin to my apron. I decided to attach it to the Panda's apron before I gave it to her, so that a little bit of me would be with her every time she wears it.Pretty pink aprons, sisters and grandaughters... that's what I'm thinkin' about on this beautiful Pink Saturday... down here in French Lique.
Your Panda is absolutely adorable. That smile is just gorgeous. I love all your fabrics and your sisters talent of making these darling aprons is just priceless. Happy Pink Saturday.. hugs ~lynne~

ReplyDeleteDixie.....what a sweet post for Pink Saturday! Your grand daughter is absolutely adorable...just cute as can be! What a wonderful sweet sis you have......a beautiful gift for Christmas. ~Cheryl~
ReplyDeleteI am so envious that you KNOW John Grisham!! A Time to Kill was my favorite, too, Dixie. Yes, I remember it was not the first that was published. I confess I haven't read every one of his books, but almost. There is one I just CAN'T get in to--I think it is The Testament. I thought The Painted House was a great one, too.!
ReplyDeleteHappy PSat--again! :) Dana
Oh how sweet! I'm an 'apronoholic', so this post is wonderful for me! Thanks for sharing! Becky G.
ReplyDeleteVery Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLovely...how nice to have a sewing sister!

My grandma used to make all the girls in the family an apron every Christmas. I don't think I appreciated them back then as much as I would now. :(
ReplyDeleteOh Dixie..I love the aprons! Those fabrics are gorgeous!! Your sister is very talented. And little Miss Panda looks very pleased with her gift, too. It looks like your family's apron tradition will continue! Have a great weekend...Debbie
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie! And those aprons your sister makes are just fantastic! How nice that your Panda has one of her own.
