My New Clothespin Apron

I have a new clothes pin apron and it makes me happy.

I’d been wanting a new one. My old one had had some issues in the form of some holes that had worn through. It had been very serviceable for many years.

I also had this wish for a cute clothes pin apron.

Somehow it is more fun to me to use something when I perceive it as pretty. I don’t have the touch for DIY projects or home decor that some women are blessed with. However, I do appreciate beauty and I like what I like.

So, I hopped over to Etsy and came across some cute clothes pin aprons. Thanks to this shop, I found me a pretty, new carrier for clothespins. Happy!

If you pop over to Etsy, you should definitely go poke around my sister’s shop that recently opened. She has a lot of pretty stuff. She is a major do-it-yourselfer. {She got ALL of that talent, which is why I have none. It works out though, cause I just let her do stuff for me. hee-hee.}

I’m really loving it. I am super happy with the way it fits. I like a clothespin apron for convenience, but I’ve never loved the look of wearing one. [Since so many people see me when I’m hanging out laundry.] But still-I didn’t love the look. This one is shorter I think, and it fits me better. I like it much better. Plus, it’s cute, That counts, you know. The burlap gives it more of a shape and is thicker and I think that’s part of the difference.

  My son saw me throw the old one out and he was confused. He couldn’t figure out why I was getting rid of the old one. He thought it looked much better than the new one. He thought the new one looked old, as in old-fashioned and he didn’t really like the ruffles. I had a good little chuckle over his opinions. Male-female differences, maybe? I much prefer my new one!! I told him he could have the old one to use someday.

 What is something that you use frequently and love for its beauty?
