A Haven for Vee

And the Winner of the Apron Is...

Someone very special that's who. I'm so pleased. Well, truth to tell, I would've been pleased with any of the 27 lovely gals who participated.

So here's my brave groom taking it on the chin for me yet again. What a guy! Does he not look adorable in that get-up? All he needs is a whisk and a bowl. Actually, I have been waiting for him to make me something...an omelette, a scone, even a piece of toast. He does make coffee every morning — great coffee!

Getting back to the apron, the groom is six feet tall so I hope that this will fit the little lady in question. I think so. It's a titch shorter than I had planned because the shirt, even though extra large and tall, just wasn't as long as I had hoped.



Omigosh! There he is again. Gee, I just can't help myself! ;>

And without further ado, here is our winner:



Congratulations, Pat! Now you and your hubby can cook all those wonderful Italian dishes and your apron will never look any worse. Say, do you suppose your hubby would be willing to pose in this apron? (Email with your information, Pat, and I'll get this out to you pronto.)

Happy Thursday, Everyone, and thanks again to all who participated. It's been a lot of fun at my house!

  1. Congratulations on your one year blog anniversary and congrats. to the winner of such a wonderful apron. Does the model come with it I wonder?
    To answer your question, son is in Italy and he is such a good cook himself that the meal would not be a particular draw.
    I will just be glad to have it working. As we speak they are on their second rebuild as connecting my new keyboard threw it all out again.

  3. What a sport your hubby is! Isn't coffee in the morning the best?! My husband has delivered a cup to me in bed for just about every morning of the 29 years we have been married. It is my favorite little luxury in life. We start the day together with coffee and paper in bed before tackling the world.

  4. Woo Hoo!! What a great sport the Carpenter is. Hey lady- he doesn't have to cook, he's handy at everything else. I'm just glad that it wasn't a pink shirt. The apron turned out really good Vee. You need to get busy sewing Christmas presents now.

    Happy Blog-a-versary.

  5. Beautiful apron on a beautiful soul... and handsome man, of course. His soul has to be beautiful to be willing to model that for all us chickies! Coffee gets my vote anyway. (Congratulations to Pat. And I must say that I am a little jealous of you and Sue who commented above. Though my hubby is wonderful, he doesn't do the coffee.)

    Blessings,
    Christi

  14. First of all, your groom is adorable! I can see why you picked him! :-)

    Now, congrats on your first year of blogging, Vee! You failed to mention that I was your FIRST commenter. Yep. I was. And here I missed your party and celebration. So sorry.

    I've enjoyed getting to know you and see your blog evolve into a delightful place to rest and be inspired each week.

    Happy new year of blogging ahead, and I do look forward to seeing your new hubby in all sorts of blog posts. Cooking, sewing, hammering & sawing, baking, and of course, escorting you on a few harrowing Drive By adventures.

    xoxo

  24. Man, I love that apron. I'm jealous. lol And your husband did better posing in that apron than my son did posing in a winter neck scarf that a friend had knitted and mailed to me. (You'd a thought I'd asked him to pose in a skirt and a bra, the way he carried on! lol).

  26. Hi Vee!
    What a handsome model! :) How did you folks fare down there with the storms? Hopefully you made it through well! I can not believe the storms we had!
    Lovely apron! Lucky lady! (lad'ies'...)

  27. What a prize! And the apron isn't too bad either. (smile) Congratulations to Pat. I'm sure she will enjoy seeing her husband making pancakes in your creation.

    Vee--I wonder if you were affected by the recent storms in that part of the country? I hope all is well.

    Have a blessed weekend! Kathy

  28. Congrats on your one-year anniversary! I'm not so far behind. It looks like I missed out on an opportunity to own a 'Vee apron' to match my 'Vee tea towel'...but I'm sure Pat will treasure it also!

    Now I need to see what you two have been up to this past while...it seems I've been away from bloggyland for a long time.

  29. I've come in too late for your competition (and I could really use a good apron).

    I found your link at Pat's and here, is another wonderful blog! I can always tell - there's a hominess and a welcoming feeling about the good ones, and yours has it!

    I'll be back for sure.
