Day 28. Aprons & Books. Autumn GIVEAWAY.
Aprons.
Beautifully fitting aprons.
Autumn time means more time spent in the kitchen.
Cooking, baking, preserving, entertaining.
It’s the perfect season for a brand new apron made out of Onasburg Cotton. Throw in a few new cookbooks and you’re set for the holidays–baking and entertaining!
I’ve been wearing my new apron, made by The Hip Hostess, and I love so many things about it.
The length.
The elegance.
The class (just look at these adorable buttons)!
The fit.
The style.
And today this APRON CAN BE YOURS!
That’s right! Not only am I giving away this beautiful apron from The Hip Hostess, I’m giving away 8 napkin swags that match the fabric.
Remember my post, here, where I entertained my 11 blogging friends?
In my backyard (reluctantly)?
These beautiful swags + this gorgeous apron + 2 books = AUTUMN LOVE!
Now for book portion of the giveaway.
Since BAKING SEASON is HERE, our beautiful Bridget from the blog Bake at 350, has a brand new stinkin’ book out that she’s graciously giving away today!
Thank you, Bridget!
This book is going to be my new best friend this holiday season, because I plan to do some cookie-decorating (my daughter is really the best at it), and I also plan to give it away for gifts. 60+ designs … how cool is that? I’ve always admired Bridget’s skills and now she’s sharing her talents with the rest of the world. Such an exciting time for her! (I really adore this lady and am honored to have spent time with her here, and here, in the last 2 months.) Check out her blog for more cookie inspiration!
Oh, and I’m giving away a copy of my book, too … The Reluctant Entertainer.

I would wear this while trying to make homemade pumkin pie from a real pumpkin,not a can, for the first time!
Next week I will be canning a big batch of Aunt Lois and Aunt Lora’s homemade tomato soup. It’s a delicious family recipe passed down from my husband’s side of the family that we look forward to every fall. We get the tomatoes at a local farm. I like to can them straight from the ground because it just feels good. I make extra so I can take jars of freshly canned tomato soup to our neighbors. It’s a big hit!
I follow you on Pinterest! I love the grilled cheese croutons!

Autumn is the time of month when my oven is constantly being used…I especially like to make my mother in laws pies that have been handed down for generations (she finally trusts me with the recipes!) :), I am both honored and happy that she does.
This post made me laugh bc I am wearing an apron right now that is not beautiful. In fact it says, “I don’t do dishes.” Ironically I just finished up washing dishes bc my dishwasher is broken :( .
I LOVE that wonderful transition to autumn cooking. The cinnamon, pumpkin, ginger, and apple smells filling the house. The wonderful soups and stews. Wanting to bake homemade bread. Ahhhhh heavenly!
