Gingham Again? Yes, But Only Blue This Time

It's all about blue gingham today, with a number of examples - first, this lovely vintage apron:
And on the pinafore of this sweet little doll from a 1961 Woman's Day Magazine:

Another apron, from a turkey advertisement this time:

Blue gingham in the bedroom:

On the walls and the lampshade, too:

And looking lovely here on this sofa gracing the cover of Cottage Style Magazine:

A dress from the 50's:

Another dress - in a Bell Telephone advertisement:

It's everywhere! On a tablecloth:
And even here in a cute dirndl skirt on this lovely blonde:

One more time on a great pinafore from Seventeen Magazine, 1975:

Lori found this skirt in one of the boxes of Mother's stuff. I can't bear to get rid of it, so I washed it and pressed it so I could photograph it for you:

You can see me wearing it here in these pictures, below. When I was in (I think!) sixth grade, a group of us girls performed chapters from "Little Women" for the class. I was Amy:

And that's it for my latest gingham installment. (I like gingham - did I already tell you that? Yes, I believe I have.)
