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 am looking forward to making pumpkin cheesecakes for the very first time.
I promised my kids I’d teach them how to bake pies this year, so what a great opportunity for a new apron!

Sandy,
What a wonderful fall surprise–I’ve loved your book but would really enjoy reading Bridget’s, as well. Thanks for the opportunity! We are looking forward to our annual apple-pie-making bash. It started years ago, in grad school, and continues with our family. Such a fun way to mark the season–
I love fall and love making comfort food – pot roast and any kind of soup…..definitely apron worthy!

Autumn always says homemade pierogies and ravioli for me! These are so labor intensive that I try to avoid making these during the hot summer. ‘Tis the season to make a huge batch of these to last me and my Mister a few months. I must admit that I end up getting flour EVERYWHERE. I’ll find it in nooks and crannys even after a few weeks! The horror!!
Cheers!
Chili – and I definitely need an apron for that! :)
I bake my christmas presents/ hostest gifts. I also Follow all three on facebook!!
Every Autumn I make apple pies. I have a good, old fashioned apple pie recipe out of the very first cookbook I owned (The Joy of Cooking) my first year of marriage! I’ve been making that apple pie for 29 years and although I’ve tried other recipes, my husband and children always ask for the “original”! Of course I’ll try new things, as well, but it’s not “Fall” at our house until the apple pies come out!
I can’t wait to make pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting! What a great giveaway!
Apple Spice Bars and homemade applesauce!
I have a ton of pears that I will be canning in honey and cinnamon! I would look too cut in that apron!
I am planning to make spice cookies with molasses dip;-) It would be so much more fun in a cute apron!
Apple Butter! First time trying this year! I love aprons! :)
When autumn rolls around, my husband asks for chili at least once a week. I make it in a crockpot, and once I open all those cans of tomatoes and beans and chop up all the onions and brown the meat, my kitchen and myself are a mess. I’m telling you, I really need an apron!!! : ).
I follow Bake at 350 on twitter.
Great giveaway! I would love to try to make a pumpkin roll but I don’t know if I have the skills or the tools!
Pumpkin soup in pumpkin bowls.
I pinned this post.
Mmm, I’ve been wanting to make apple butter…that totally requires a new apron, right?? :)
