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.
ONE PERSON will WIN all of these gifts, a very FUN Autumn surprise:
-Apron by The Hip Hostess

–Decorating Cookies, by Bridget Edwards

I have a spiced plum jam recipe I have been wanting to make since it has turned to Fall lately and a new apron would totally make it much more fun! :)

Pumpkin bread!
I could make a big pot of gumbo with that apron on!
An apple pie, of course! :) I can’t think of another recipe that requires a new apron for me :)

pumpkin bread
Harvest bisque with homemade croutons!
Oh boy.
Probably anything that requires a lot of moving around in the kitchen…like making my grandma’s special Persimmon-Cinnamon Loaf. A nice, durable new apron would make the task so much more enjoyable…and ever so more cleaner.
Pumpkin bread, fried pies and pappa’s yummy maccaroni soup!
I’m definitely looking forward to making apple dumplings!
Autumn, for me, is the time for hauling out the soup pot, which is my favorite kitchen cookware. I’ve actually already made Dutch Split Pea with Ham and a healthy chicken vegetable with noodles and kale. Soup’s on!
I’m already following all of you on Twitter and two of you on Facebook. I can’t tell from the contest whether it is open to Canada and the US or the US only.
It doesn’t matter.
I make soup in autumn. :-)
I would enjoy wearing a new apron as I serve at my church’s annual ingathering. It’s like a huge pre-thanksgiving dinner at the beginning of Nov when we come together and give thanks to God for how great He is and how He has provided over the past year.
Thanks for all the work you put into your blog! I always love reading it and putting several thIngs into practice.
I tweeted about your giveaway.
