Waterloo, Part #3; Saturday Program

Saturday morning, EllynAnne was doing a special presentation. It was a behind-the-scenes look about how the Apron Chronicles exhibit happened.  It was so great to meet her up close and personal.  She is one of those wonderful storytellers....and I could have listened to her all day....
Remember playing with little irons that actually WORKED??  And there was a story behind those little Coke bottles, all wearing aprons, too...
Like all good speakers, EllynAnne had her samples well organized.  I COULD HARDLY WAIT to hear the stories behind all the beautiful aprons and vintage linens...
Notice all the prices on this Penney's piece of advertising...
The other side had the Walt Disney Cinderella Apron!!  Hey -- in her day -- she was bigger than Else from FROZEN...
This muslin flour sack was the beginning of General Mills and Betty Crocker.  I enjoyed reading the history on Wikipedia
Another example of how EllynAnne found the iron on transfers -- THEN, at another time, found a finished embroidered towel with those designs.  KARMA, I tell you!!
Of course, I am always a sucker for a COLORFUL SEWING APRON...who could resist this??
