Last year I did a post called ‘Coveted Cupcakery’ in which I listed tons of items that were cupcake related that I was lusting after. Well… I’ve been meaning to sit down and do one specifically for aprons… since aprons are oh-so-hot right now and there are so many out there that I’m in love with. Anyway I’ve been meaning to do it and haven’t, so today, since its the one year birthday of this site… I decided to actually finally sit down and do it after finding so many cute ones on Etsy. Not all of these are Etsy listings, but a good majority of them are. And not all of these are specifically cupcake related, however them being aprons by their very nature makes them suitable for cupcakery, but also for cooking or baking of any kind. And aprons aren’t only good for cooking/baking, they’re good for crafting too! You can keep your clothes neat while gluing or painting and look cute too. And the term ‘hostess’ apron exists for a reason- wear one that matches your outfit while ‘hosting’ company, or making cocktails and it’ll be a conversation piece for sure. Some people wear them while gardening too, but the ones I have listed here are far too lovely for that in my opinion.
Its never to early to start thinking about holiday gift ideas, or so the media and department stores will have you believe, so for the baker/chef (or crafty) lady in your life who gets excited over new beaters and measuring cups**, you may wanna buy her a nice new apron for her to ‘work it’ in the kitchen with. Or out of the kitchen, since these are so awesome she may wanna wear them just around the house. Or the yard. Or the mall. Whatever. Its also nice to get one for someone on the first birthday of their blog… *cough*… okay, so on we go!

Now, for my third (or fourth) lusted after apron, we have this fantastic apron by Etsy seller perdoozy… the ‘Bewitched’ apron! Featuring fabric printed with pin-ups!
This Japanese doll themed apron is sooo kawaii (‘cute’ in Japanese), I can’t take it. Again, from Boojiboo.
For those of you who prefer half-aprons, or if you just like a variety, this Matryoshka pocket apron is the epitome of cuteness. Thanks to snappyshop!
In case any of you share my obsession with sugar skulls and Dia De Los Muertos, check this baby out: Desperate Everyday Housewife apron by momomadeit!
Now this apron from jrdesign is very clever: aprons on an apron! Hot pink, red and black… whats a better color combination than that?
And this apron is called the ‘Chores Apron‘… but cooking and baking isn’t a chore, is it? However, thanks to Etsy seller sokano, when you actually do chores- if you wear this apron, they’ll seem a little sweeter. Made of fabric printed with vacuums and mops and brooms and trimmed in turquoise flowery print.
Next we have this apron by Cupcake Provocateur, which is called the ‘Rag Doll’ apron. I love this so much I can’t even tell you, it reminds me of Raggedy Ann:
From modernjune we’ve got a shnazzy number called ‘That 50’s Apron‘ which brings to mind shows like ‘I Love Lucy’ and those cool retro kitchens with colored stoves and matching fridges.
Here we have the ‘Fussy Little Teapot’ apron by MargiesGifts. So cute. I wanted to start singing “I’m a little teapot” when I saw this one!
From Heavenly Hostess, we have a stylish ruched-top pink apron that features smiling faces! Maybe they’re smiling because they’re thinking of cupcakes?
Also from modernjune on the half-apron front, there’s this cupcake apron in pink polka dot… how can ya not love it? It also comes in a full-bib style, and in yellow, green and blue polka dot.
And last but not least… yet again, from Boojiboo, heres a cupcake-printed apron thats totally cute! it also comes in blue.
If any of these are sold out or unavailable, I’m sure an e·mail to the seller or webmaster could help you out. Sometimes they have more and just aren’t listed, sometimes they can custom make it for you as well. Now, if none of those are to your liking (which I certainly can’t understand)… you can try going to these websites and finding ones you like better! They vary from simple and the kind you won’t mind getting batter on because it’ll come off easy, to the fancy and pricey and dry-clean only kind.

I would certainly not kick anyone out of my kitchen or my home for buying me any of these. *I swear thats not another hint* As the proud owner of 5 aprons, I’m always up for adding to my collection. 🙂
I’ll be back very soon with a special ‘First birthday of Cupcake Rehab’ post.
**However… Its my duty to inform you that there are indeed some women who will punch you in the eye if you buy them an apron for any reason. Or if you buy them fancy measuring cups & matching spoons (even these pewter ones I’d beat someone to death for) or a new mixer. I can’t imagine why, but they do exist. Beware of them. These women would prefer expensive jewelry and perfume to any sort of useful home-related object and will most assuredly toss your clothing and belongings out the window if you buy them something from KitchenAid. I myself am not averse to receiving jewelry *coughcough*this is perfect*coughcough* or perfume, but I will surely not toss anyones anything out a window upon receiving a $300 mixer, say, or an apron set from Jessie Steele… as Jay can well attest to.

I will take one of each please! I LOVE them!
Yeah- me too! 😀
Oh my – didja see that black and white toile by Jessie Steele? I swear, my heart skipped a beat. But I love that pink S&M convertible apron, too. 🙂 . You’ve convinced me…I *need* an apron!
I love the toile one. I love all of them really. That S&M one is the shizzle though. That’d look just as good with a whip as it would with a whisk…
Buenos dias, y mucho gusto, from Chihuahua, Mexico!!! They home of they little dogs!!!
I’m thinking I need to start restraining you from the computer.
ROFL @ JAYSUS RAMIREZ HE ROOLS!!!!!

how much does it cost for your aprons an how can u be contacted
I don’t make ’em, this is just a post about the aprons OTHER PEOPLE make that I love. I gave links and info for each one.
Hey there! I know this is kinda off topic nevertheless I’d
figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in trading links
or maybe guest writing a blog post or vice-versa? My website goes over a lot of the same topics as
yours and I think we could greatly benefit from
each other. If you happen to be interested feel free to shoot me an email.
I look forward to hearing from you! Awesome blog by the way!
I constantly emailed this webpage post page to all my friends, since if like
to read it next my contacts will too.
These are genuinely fantastic ideas in about blogging. You have touched some fastidious things here.
Any way keep up wrinting.
Some genuinely interesting info, well written and generally
user friendly.
I’m so happy to read this. This is the type of manual
that needs to be given and not the random misinformation that’s at the other blogs.
Appreciate your sharing this greatest doc.
Fastidious answers in return of this difficulty
with firm arguments and explaining the whole thing on the topic of that.
Incredible story there. What occurred after? Thanks!
I am in fact pleased to glance at this web site posts which carries tons of helpful information, thanks for providing these kinds
of information.

I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you
presented it. Too cool!
Incredible quest there. What happened after? Thanks!
I have been surfing on-line greater than three hours these days, but I by no
means found any fascinating article like yours.
It’s pretty price sufficient for me. In my opinion, if all site owners and bloggers made good content material as you probably did, the web will probably be much more
helpful than ever before.
Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
I do not know whether it’s just me or if everybody else encountering problems with your website.
It seems like some of the text in your posts are running off the screen. Can somebody else please provide
feedback and let me know if this is happening to them as well?
This might be a problem with my browser because I’ve had this happen before.
Thanks

great author. I will make certain to bookmark your blog and will
eventually come back down the road. I want to encourage you to ultimately continue your great job, have a
