If you live in the Holland area, here is an event that you may want to check out. I had the great pleasure of visiting Holland about 13 years ago now, it is a beautiful country. I was sad to have missed the tulip season, but we enjoyed our stay non the less.

Holland, MI — “Apron Strings,” the new gallery show which just opened at the Dekker Huis Museum in Zeeland features, what else — aprons.
“Apron Strings” will run all summer.
The museum is located at 37 E. Main Ave. in downtown Zeeland and is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursdays, and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays. Admission is free and donations are accepted.

Here is part of the “grandma’s Apron” poem that has been circulating around. It was part of this original post, but just did not make since to have it stuck in the middle.

“The principle use of Grandma’s apron was to protect the dress underneath, because she had only a few. It dried children’s tears, wiped dirty ears as well as runny noses. It carried eggs from the coop, vegetables from the garden and apples fallen from the tree. When dinner was ready Grandma waved her apron from the porch to summon men folk from the field. “
