Updated Old ShopKeeper Aprons!

Good Morning Friends!
It's 6 am here and chilly! Mr. OTM and I are getting ready to head out on a Junk Fest and before we left I had to link up to my girl Jami's AIR YOUR LAUNDRY linky she does every Friday.
Up this week are some cool vintage shop keeper aprons that I picked up last week at an antique mall. Mr. OTM spotted them and thought I'd like um...particurally because they have stains and a great worn feel. He was right! As soon as I saw them I was able to envision what I wanted to do. AND it was easy...thank goodness! My first thought was a transfer....

They started out like this...plain and ordinary...

then I added the vintage blue ticking divided pocket...




and PRESTO CHANGE-O!!
Now they're at the shop. I have 6 all together. I did one for myself that says Olde Tyme Marketplace, then 3 that say Vintage Market and 2 that say Marche aux Fleurs (flower market).
I love me an easy project and these worked out great!
Hop on over to Jami's and see some other great textile goodies to get you inspired.
Have a great day!

    I LOVE these, Beth! I might have to get me a Vintage Market one...but the flower shop one sounds so pretty, too. That ticking pocket made them extra special. Thanks for linking up and for your sweet words up there.

    Love ya,
    Jami
