Friday, April 12, 2013 We took a ride in the country this past Sunday to Grayslake, IL grayslakehistory.org to the historical museum to see an exhibit of aprons. I happen to enjoy aprons for their colorful and unique designs as well as the historical perspective of their use. It was worth the trip; even though the exhibit was small, I enjoyed it and found the ubiquitous crocheted apron. That made my day! As an added bonus, there was a chair and "aparatus" that was used in the late 19th century for ladies to get a permanent wave. ...and I thought getting highlights used to be a hassle!
