Aprons from the 40s

Remember the Golden Age of Housewifery?

Just like a back door neighbor
I dropped in on Carolyn
and from her kitchen door I heard,
“Hey, Sweetie, come on in!”

Click, click, her heels tapped smartly
‘cross her bright and shiny floor.
(In that stunning aqua apron
she was Dorothy Lamour!)

Sitting on her counter was
an old black and white t.v.
“Oh, I LOVE vintage Lucy shows—
Her apron is so ‘me’!”

“But, Sweetie, just a minute!
What would your hubby think
if your apron was this Marilyn?”

I thought . . .
“Well–
he’d be tickled pink!”



Inspired by a visit to Carolyn's Kitchen (http://www.carolynskitchenonline.com/ ) where you will find the most glamorous aprons and rubber gloves in the world! Creator Carolyn West sent the gorgeous apron and glove set from her 'Dorothy' line. We're not talking Dorothy from Oz, this is strictly Dorothy Lamour!
