Home A La Mode Giveaway!!!!

When you think of wearing an apron do you think of these women?

Sigh.  Yes, it's June Cleaver

Not sure who this lady is...

It's not easy to find a cute AND functioning apron!  It seems so many of them are either cute OR functioning.  When I say cute, I don't mean bunnies and teddy bears.  Don't get me wrong...bunnies and teddy bears have their place.  But in my opinion, that place is not on my apron. =)  When I say "cute", I mean pretty, stylish, flirty, girly, etc.  I think you get the picture.  


Good news! You can find ultra "cute" aprons at Home A La Mode!!!  This is the one that I have:

I also have the matching towel.  It is so nice and big and perfect for covering my doughs to let them rise.

OK, OK!  I'm a  last minute person and no matter how hard I try...LATE!

How many ways can I say CUTE?!  Home A La Mode has over 55 aprons to choose from by many designers including, Kay Dee Designs, Kate Spain, Moda Home, Vanilla House, Cindy Taylor Oates, Sew Liberated, and Nana's.  While you're visiting Home A La Mode, be sure to check out all of their other kitchen items as well.  They have napkins, tablecloths, tableware, pot holders, towels, and other accessories. 

Now....for the giveaway.  Home A La Mode has offered to let you choose your favorite color of one of these super cute aprons by Kay Dee Designs!!!  I'm in love with the green one.  As if that isn't cool enough, they are doing the exact same giveaway on Home A La Mode's blog!  Could you just scream?
