Photos from my Women of Inspiration Scrapbook

Ada Florence Ashford 1909 -2005
Apron Chronicles

Miss Ashford's photo has been in my inspiration
scrapbook for a very long time.
It is the look of contentment:
it gets me every single time.
Everything clean and fresh.
Don't you just want to sit with her?


My mother didn't do a thing without an apron.

Alden Lane Nursery

The Hee Haw apron my mother gave me.
Some of my aprons
have been in my collection since I was 14.

Back then I could wrap the strings
around me and tie in the front.
Coffee and Diet Coke?
My poison of choice when I create.
Tea, too, if I can get someone to put
the kettle on.
