They save our clothes from getting dirty. Gather the corners up and they work as impromptu baskets for gathering flowers, fruit and vegetables. Their strings can act as an extra and secure hand a little one can hold on to. They are often a stand-in for towel or pot holders. And in a pinch they can even wipe away tears.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here at StoneGable aprons are daily attire .

It makes my pastry life soooooo much easier. I do not use a pastry sleeve for my rolling pin though. Once the cloth has been used and floured several times it will become seasoned. When I am done using it, I shake the excess flour out into the sink and pop my pastry cloth into a freezer bag and then into the freezer.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">SG tip #2: Keeping a pretty cup filled with flour on hand  to continually dust the pastry cloth is a good idea. This keeps the pastry from sticking and making a mess, and the cup is pretty to work with! I keep this cup in my flour bin.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0Qny6TrVD4dNqKTJ7SZjjb9bbX2VcCVZxGvVsDISc0p0OQ-Du9oJcZH6WKTjT31K6NTT5Zkd4ssjvvYjLLdv1npxLSV8sJ_olwjA6ZCLhTFx6ng2Jb8haUxsgCvqF4Gzbkve-fhhwY96h/s1600/Peach+Dumplings+stonegableblog.com+6.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0Qny6TrVD4dNqKTJ7SZjjb9bbX2VcCVZxGvVsDISc0p0OQ-Du9oJcZH6WKTjT31K6NTT5Zkd4ssjvvYjLLdv1npxLSV8sJ_olwjA6ZCLhTFx6ng2Jb8haUxsgCvqF4Gzbkve-fhhwY96h/s640/Peach+Dumplings+stonegableblog.com+6.png" width="470" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Mix sugars together in a bowl.

I enjoy lovely things. And I am blessed to have lovely things. But I also love a bargain!  Beautiful things don't have to be expensive, and in my case often aren't. I mix the treasures that were passed down to me with things that cost very little. Style shouldn't equate to dollars. How we elevate, share and hold loosely onto the things we have in our own individual ways~ now that's true style!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And things don't equate to happiness! My mantra is and always has been "people are more important than things". I love home and have a passion for making my home a sanctuary for my family and all who visit. It is the  people that fill my life that give it meaning and joy! And so, I am blessed beyond measure!  But you all knew that, didn't you! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I'll step down off of my soapbox and back away from the megaphone~ thanks for giving me a minute~ and now back to the table..</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhUXqcaDNYZn_Dkkx7ucoR1MIFOsrDVtj8nGbLHif59eq_31tDIbRQBnOp1yWVaru9LH_WlcU2c-jeWasc7w36E-YWVUGmIyI6gGVNzTF6qwkUgW4TWImqtPZKZlfFU2aHho8C5coXmuq1/s1600/Copy+of+IMG_7514.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" hw="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhUXqcaDNYZn_Dkkx7ucoR1MIFOsrDVtj8nGbLHif59eq_31tDIbRQBnOp1yWVaru9LH_WlcU2c-jeWasc7w36E-YWVUGmIyI6gGVNzTF6qwkUgW4TWImqtPZKZlfFU2aHho8C5coXmuq1/s640/Copy+of+IMG_7514.JPG" width="428" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Tucked into the blue glasses are crisp white hemstitched napkins.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7hYhoIwCI2bsGpHmR55Jh8Yrfr51pToXPAPIXwCna2Ck2afMMimZ3IbEO11OM1FntYZOgeE5OZi1YnrwNhAjq2UzZoiseFXEYfzI5BbTDYwq0hJb2eneWAxhHIHOr2Zfch57d1OPnRbUR/s1600/Copy+of+IMG_7532.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" hw="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7hYhoIwCI2bsGpHmR55Jh8Yrfr51pToXPAPIXwCna2Ck2afMMimZ3IbEO11OM1FntYZOgeE5OZi1YnrwNhAjq2UzZoiseFXEYfzI5BbTDYwq0hJb2eneWAxhHIHOr2Zfch57d1OPnRbUR/s640/Copy+of+IMG_7532.JPG" width="428" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">These sweet cups and saucers came from a flea market, as did the small candle holders.
