"MY NEW FAVORITE BOOK!" according to Writer. This book is full of large, colorful photos of many beautiful aprons. It is also filled with pertinent information for anyone interested in vintage aprons. Reading it makes me feel "home again." I've been an apron collector for years, and I had the opportunity to view Ms. Cheney's apron exhibit in my town's museum recently. It was fabulous! This book is my new favorite! Thanks, Ms. cheney!. Jeannine Stults said Superb Photography & Excellent History!. The reader can't help but browse through this wonderful book and identify the apron that their Aunt Mary wore. The memories come flooding back as you immediately see your grandmother standing in her kitchen wearing her apron. Lots of fun to see how they were dated and what brought about the changes in the all-American apron. Thanks, Joyce Cheney!
