EXHIBIT TESTIMONIALS

“Hosting EllynAnne’s exhibit, Tie One On… An Apron of Course, was an absolute pleasure start to finish. The personal stories touched every one of our visitors. People of all ages and backgrounds came out of the exhibit excited to share their own apron stories and memories with staff, often with tears in their eyes. The aprons and what they represent really created a connection with our community that was a joy to see. We would highly recommend Tie One On to anyone looking for an meaningful and engaging exhibition for their institution.”

Apron Story:
APRON of Nostalgia   by Christi Crawford-Partee

“This photo was taken by my father at my grandparent Crawford’s house in Memphis, Tennessee on Christmas Day in the late 1950’s.

My grandmother is standing next to my grandfather who is seated at the head of the table. My dad’s cousins are the other two ladies standing and all three women are dressed to the nines and wearing their freshly laundered and ironed ‘fancy’ aprons for the holidays. My grandmother likely sewed them and embroidered the designs on them. I can almost smell the homemade yeast rolls on the table, along with all the pies I know are sitting in the kitchen waiting for their turn at the table.

Oh, to go back and rejoice in those days again.”
