Sisterhood of the Travelling Susan Apron

I received a very special package in the mail today.

A beautifully wrapped apron

 accompanied by a little pink package with a pink bow and a card.

How sweet it all looked and it's not even my birthday.  Pink is Audrey's favorite colour so she had to help open it. Along with the vibrant, pretty apron that has a story behind it, was 6 gorgeous linen napkins, cat grass seed for these spoiled, spoiled felines and a beautiful, hand-made card from Jane.
This is very exciting so please let me explain about this special travelling apron. It is called the Sisterhood of the Travelling Susan Apron. The goal is to bring together blogging friends with a common interest in cooking or baking. The apron has most graciously been passed on to me by Jane from The Maple Syrup Mob with a journal showing me where the apron has travelled and introducing all the ladies who wore it.
It started with Susan who made the apron and had a give-away. Meggie won the give-away and had the brilliant idea to wear the apron, bake some special dishes and then pass on the apron to another blogger. Now I have been chosen to wear this beautiful apron so here's hoping I'll get some of that inspiration, too. Oh oh, I'm getting nervous.

The apron travelled from Susan  to Meggie then winged it's way across the Atlantic to Elaine then to Scarlet and finally back across the Atlantic to Jane (a fellow Ontarian) and now it is hanging in my kitchen waiting for some magic to happen. Yikes! I hope I am worthy of this apron.


I feel very honoured and look forward to my time with this apron. I feel a connection to my mom and mother-in-law who were wonderful cooks and bakers. I'm going to love showing off the beautiful napkins in the dining-room, too (thank you so much, Jane. I will do a post with them soon) and as I type this, Audrey has left the room with the pink ribbon.

Pretty nice, eh! As soon as this heat lifts I'll be in the kitchen. ;-)


hugs, Deb
