Flirty Apron swap

I made a pretty pretty pretty apron for this swap. The premise for the swap was to make an apron representing your partner's fantasy vacation. My partner wanted to drive through the country, stopping in antique stores and buying vintage linens, books, etc..... I used some new fabric, some vintage fabric, and vintage trims and buttons. I wrapped it all up in brown paper and string and added in some of her "purchases" for the day (a vintage homemaking magazine, and some vintage linens and a book!). We were supposed to add a recipe too -- but the magazine has tons of them in it! (tomato aspic -- yuck!)

Here is the before:
And the after:
