[QUOTE="Northern Lights Lodge, post: 4418038, member: 13464"]WoW! What treasures! She had a great eye for finding great stuff! Yes, Etsy would be a good venue for sales. It's easy to set up an account! First apron is smocked! CUTE! Very "Halloweenie" with the black smocking, orange fabric and black ricrac! Second apron - embroidery on organdie!
