apron shirts

While visiting the kids in British Columbia

I came across a fun sewing project at their local farmer's market.

They are aprons made from thrift store shirts.

I made several for our little ones.

Mine are made from men's small dress shirts

 but a child's large may be better {shorter}

It was fun playing with sleeve pockets 

and transferring labels to the front.

rich full-flavored indulgence

At my son's house they drink Chock full o' Nuts coffee,

It is the least expensive coffee at their local Price Chopper.

While at the store I thought I would splurge 

and buy Eight O'Clock coffee for them.

With these two kinds of coffee to compare

I knew which one I would like better.

I was wrong . . . 

The clear winner was Chock full o' Nuts.

"Rich full-flavored indulgence" indeed.
