Reader Elizabeth Mary sent along this wonderful resource for vintage-style aprons and matching hair snugs. You know I like ‘em –because they are oh so sweet — and made by another Pam. There are a number of designs — and 17 fabric choices — a really happy way to create your own 40s or 50s style. I like this ”Nora” style in this green fabric a lot. I might just have to get me one!

Just like the ones Grandma used to wear!
TY, Pam for the info!
Those hair snugs at BellaPamella.com are very Lucy Ricardo!!!!!
Yes, Sablemable. Look at their site, too — I love the back of this particular design. Very stylish and flattering! And, yes, the hair snugs are great, too. For some reason I can’t get a hair snug photo into the post without the formatting going wacky…technical problems, argh. Well worth taking a look on their website!
My fiance got a leopard print Jesse Steele apron with matching oven mitts for Christmas. Not quite as “old lady” looking, but still very retro. It looks great hanging in the kitchen when it’s not in use.
Love it! My husband just made me a black one with little cherries all over it! So way cute.
Sweet and retro at the same time. I do like that cherry-patterned fabric!
Get one and just leave it in your kitchen, or use it.
Wnhat great fabrics.
I just want the cherry pattern to use all over my kitchen. Aprons, curtains, tablecloths. If I wore the apron, I’d be camoflauged in my own kitchen. … OK, probably not at $14 a yard, but an apron would be nice.
