I’m having a super fantabulous giveaway this week.
I know, I know…I just HAD a giveaway LAST week.
It’s just that it turned out so well, I thought I’d do another one.
If I’m not careful I’m going to smother you all with freebie love and then who would be left to read my blog?
My very good friend, Erin, has opened an Etsy shop called, “Saucy Frocks”
to sell her handmade, retro-style aprons!
This is us about ten years ago when we were in college together. (Forgive the crappy photos. We’re rearranging our office and my scanner isn’t hooked up. So, this is what you get-a photo of four photos. What can I say? It is what it is, yo.)
I love Erin to death. She is amazing. She has such a great eye and can make anything. She even made my wedding dress! (See above) After she got married and moved away we lost contact for a way too many years, but it turned out she has been lurking on my blog and recently started blogging herself.
It has been SO good to reconnect with a beloved friend.
When she told me about her aprons and showed me her photos, I went nutso. I wanted to help her spread the word about her creations because, HELLO! THEY ARE FREAKING ADORABLE!
See?
She is sending me her newest apron, the Country Garden one in pinks and green that is in bottom left-hand corner of the photo. Is it not cute? I had the toughest time picking one out.
To celebrate her grand opening, I am giving one lucky winner of this giveaway a free apron, courtesy of “Saucy Frocks”!
Here is the drill:
1. Visit Erin’s Etsy shop and pick out your favorite apron.
She only has a few currently…Don’t worry it will grow. And? She makes them in plus sizes! I would have killed to have something this cute when I was a size 22.
2. Leave a comment telling me which one you would like (You can also throw in how cute you think they are) and you will be entered to win.
3. Write a post on your blog and link back TO THIS POST (Not just my blog. See at the bottom of this post where it says “Link to this entry”? Yah. Click that.) and you will get an additional TWO ENTRIES in the drawing.
That’s a total of three entries for one link, people!
It’s worth a tiny space on your blog, right?
And to my men readers? Come on, you surely have a female in your life that would love to own one of these.
Erin deserves every good thing in life, and I am totally pulling for her business to succeed.
So?
Comment, blog, and link away, my adorable ones!
I close the giveaway on FRIDAY, MARCH 7th at midnight.
Winner will be announced on Saturday.
OOO WOW! I’m the first to comment, that never ever happens! I so love the French with a twist apron! I meann they are all so sute, but this partiucular one, suits me to a tea. ( never undersdtodd that experssion, but it works)
Big hugs,
Love Toni
P.S. Congrats to Erin!!!
I think they are so cute that you should have Saucy Frock Party!! All of the guests are to be completely NAKED except for the sexy aprons. Take pictures, serve martinis and blog it silly.
The new trunk party craze.
Saucy Dots is too cute!! But the French one is precious too.
So cute! What a talented friend!!
These are adorable!!!!!!!! I love the country French one! I’ve always been a sucker for cute aprons…among other things that I’m a sucker for.
I can’t decide which is my favorite. I love the French with a Twist and both the Country Chic ones. I like pockets, so that’s in favor of Country Chic. I asked my boys which was the best, and they both voted for Country Chateau. But it’s really impossible to pick a favorite – they’re all fabulous.
I linked to this entry (see my URL for this comment).
They are all so cute but I love the French w/ a twist the best. That blue/chocolate color combination is one of my favorites, it would match my bedroom perfectly…not that I would be wearing it in there. Unless perhaps I was having a Kimberly-type party for two :-)
I like that idea! Give MacKenzie the French one.
Oops, that was actually me.
ooh, i love the country garden one, with all the red (my favorite color!). :) but they are all sooo cute.
I’m not going to enter your contest, but I just wanted to say that she’s selling her aprons for a wicked price. I (ahem) am selling aprons of a verry verry similar pattern in my etsy shop and I will tell you that I am charging more than she is. She must be fast, and getting a wicked deal on fabric. Good luck with your shop, Erin! Your aprons are cuuute!!
Ooo! I love the saucy dots one!
I will definitely delurk for this this! I am about to order 2 of these, one for a friend’s bridal shower and one for my MIL for Mother’s Day. So, I definitely want one for myself!
Your friend is very talented. You are so right. Adorable and then some!
Saucy dots is for me.
The Country Chateau apron is so cute, but I also love the French with a Twist. I love these things and could really use a new apron.
Those are too cute! They are so cute that I would be afraid to actually clean or cook in them. Good thing I try to avoid those types of activities. I may have to hop on over and order one!
As someone who works in the food industry, I get bored as hell wearing chef coats in the kitchen. I LOVE her aprons. I think I might have to buy a new kitchen wardrobe at her Etsy shop. Awesome!!
And my pick would be for the cute little “country garden” number :-)
Oooohhhh…
I am torn between the one you picked and the pink “saucy dots” one.
Thanks for giving me some side blog fodder too, yo.
Also?
YOU ARE FRIGGIN’ GORGEOUS. :)
I love them and am bookmarking the store while I wait for more patterns and colors. Right now I love the French Twist, but I really like the style of the Country Garden.
oh! oh! OH!
*ahem*
they are goooorgeous. I have such an apron fetish at the moment, but I have never seen anything like THESE little beauties.
Trying to decide which ONE is my fave just about gave me an anyuerism (and then another one, trying to fecking spell aneurism). In the end – eeny meeny miney mo – I simply can’t live without the Country Chateau one. Can’t. live. without. it.
How serious do you think she is with this “ships only to the united states” business, I wonder.
Oh and here’s the link to the post on my blog, where I continued the drooling ;)

French with a twist is beyond awesome. But how could you ever spill something on these? I might need to put clothes on over this apron :)
Oh my GOD! These are SO freaking cute. I have been dying for an apron for the LONGEST and these come in plus size?! This is too much.

Hands down this one is my absolute favorite.
those are all fantastic. i’m a fan of the country garden, but the saucy dots is quite cute, also. i love a good apron! oh, and if i should happen to win, don’t let my thailand address scare you. i have a mailing address in the us, too.
yum.
i, alas, don’t need an apron…i wouldn’t use it…not that i would, mind, not this one, but i don’t use the two i have already. so i don’t need to enter…but if i could, it would be saucy dits. fo sho.
I love them ALL! So cute/stylish/sexy!
I would love to have one, I’ll check out her shop. I LOVE etsy!
French with a twist is my favorite. Great apron and Etsy rocks!
I love those–more like sexy sundresses or negligee than aprons! My favorite is the French with a Twist, though the Saucy Dots is a close second. Plus, I’ve been thinking lately (usually as I’m leaping away from a splattering pan of chicken) that I should invest in an apron. Getting one for free, of course, would be infinitely better.
The French with a Twist is awesome as is the Saucy Dots. I would feel bad if I got anything on them while cooking, but I think my husband would find me totally HAWT if I wore those while in the kitchen!
Country Chateau, Country Garden. Country Chateau, Country Garden. Nope. Still can’t decide.
Lovely designs! Good luck with your shoppe!
oh my gosh! how cute are those aprons? i saw take the pocket off the front, make a back and you’d have a cute little dress. well, almost. but then again, considering where i come from, even backless i know people who would wear it out.
i love lots the pink dotted one with the halter-ish top. like i’d pick out one other than pink!!!
Love the French with a Twist one- I’m a sucker for blue and brown.
I actually told my husband that I want an apron for my birthday. I dont really cook, so I’m not sure why I need one, but they’re so cute!
Okay, I linked in to your post. To

Ok… I’m so into retro… gotta love the “Saucy Dots Apron”!!!

French With a Twist is too cute – gotta’ have that one!
they are most definitely saucy frocks.. how cute!!
ps – I want to know about the makeup you mentioned in your comment. I have primer, but I want to know the actual makeup!! por favor!!
French With A Twist is absolutely divine, but like
Sarah Bean
, i live down under in New Zealand…
maybe she could post it to one of my USA bloggie chicks and i could bribe them to send it to me???
unopened, unworn, unpreviouslyloved of course
*grin*

Well good pick on the French one..my second pick would be the Saucy one. I really love aprons and have a couple, but none are as cute and classy as these.
Gosh, these are cute enough to wear by themselves…:) although I don’t recommend wearing JUST an apron while cooking…It never turns out well. TMI??
Anyway, I’d love to do a post on your friends Etsy site! I know my sisters, and sister-in-laws will love them!

Oh, they’re all cute. My favorite is the “French with a twist”.
I really have to sew another apron myself.
Totally French with a twist. Love blue/green and brown. Love stylish aprons. And I linked from my blog.
They’re gorgeous! I’m torn between Saucy Dots and French with a Twist!
Just lovely

I too am torn between Saucy Dots and heavily leaning towards French with a Twist
Mmmk count me in. I love the French twist or the French country one. Soo cute.
oops that was country garden not French country.
Oh my word! Unbearably cute!! I’ll go for the French Twist, please and thankyou! (And if I dont win…Im passing on the link to SOMEBODY who will buy it for me!!)
I linked. Hee! *Alex crosses her fingers*
Saucy Dots in pink and black is so sassy…it would be the perfect thing to inspire me to cook…right? now to figure out how to link…
