when I was visiting Utah early last year I picked up a book titled ... THe Apron Book - Making, Wearing, and Sharing a Bit of CLoth and COmfort by EllynAnne Geisel - what a fantastic book! Has so many stories, colour photos in it - all from the author's collection of aprons - I have my own collection - a basket full! ALl with a story attached - could not believe someone else had one as well - do look up the book - a true treasure for your library :)
