    That apron just makes cooking "kewl". I'd love to own it.

    I would feel so pretty in this!

    I wonder how the apron would look on me in my birthday suit??

    Wow, that is way too elegant to get tomato sauce all over.

    love the apron

    My favorite kitchen accessory is my kids. How much fun would it be to cook in this adorable apron and still look gorgoeus!?! What a dream come true!

    it's the ginchiest!

    My favorite kitchen tool is my garlic press. If I'm stressed or just wanting to add some punch to my baked rigatoni that old garlic press does the trick. That apron is beautiful!!

    I love wearing aprons and this one is so cool.

    My favorite kitchen accessory is my set of Cuisipro measuring cups. They're so pretty and professional-looking. Even wanna-be bakers like me feel like a pro when using them! (Gotta say, though, if I win this apron it will quickly take the place as my favorite accessory!) :)

    What a beautiful apron! I'd love to win so I can bake and cook fashionably. :)

    Wow! what a beautiful apron

    It's cute, pick me!

    THAT'S A VERY NICE APRON AND I WOULD LOVE TO WIN IT!

    Let's see, my favorite kitchen accessory is my blender.

    My husband and I couldn't live without our mortar & pestle for grinding fresh spices. I'd love to add this georgous apron to my collection, and I'm sure my husband would love to watch me cooking in this one.

    Great Website.

    This apron is perfect! I really like the idea fo an apron, but I can never find nice ones. They are either too plaina nd blah, or too "whimsical". i do not what an apron with some silly phrase or a cartoon character on it! Ii I have to cover up my beautiful clothes, i wan tto cover them with something that is also beautiful! : )

    All I can say is wow! What a gorgeous apron!

    My favorite kitchen accessory would have to be my W.S. silicone basting brush. It comes in 4 fun colors. I use it every time I grill during the summer which is almost every night and its so easy to keep clean until most brushes.

    It's so pretty! My favorite kitchen accessory would probably be my ancient food processor (inherited when a friend got married and was given a new one). I use for everything from making hummus to cookie dough.

    My crock pot is my best accessory.

    My favorite kitchen accessory is my garlic press. I use garlic in everything and this press is wonderful.

    I'm all linked up and posted about this giveaway
    http://me-lace.blogspot.com/

    I would love to win an apron.

    My favorite kitchen gadget is my microplane. It is great for fresh parmesan.

    grams-kelley [at] sbcglobal [dot] net

    I love pyrex measuring cups. They're the best!

    No blog, but I'll share the site on forums and such. My favorite kitchen accessory is this little tiny colander- perfect for quickly draining small portions of stuff I've steamed without having a giant monster colander to clean.

    My favorite kitchen accessory is my washing up gloves. I would love to win this apron because it matches my gloves. They are also a black & white damask print pattern with pink around the edges. I hate doing the dishes but having those gloves makes it worthwhile!

    Oh this is beautiful! I'd love to win it. Thanks for the op. My fav kitchen accessory is probably my silicon oven mit thing... Love it!

    Gorgeous apron! My favorite kitchen aid is my Kitchen Aid mixer.

    I was just saying I really need a cool apron earlier today! This one is almost too pretty to use. I love it.
    My favorite kitchen accessory is my dishwasher. As my husband likes to say, I dirty every dish and pot we own when I cook something, so the dishwasher is a lifesaver.

    Favorite Kitchen Accessory: handsdown my favorite kitchen accessory is a cutting board! I can use a cutting board as a clean counter top when the rest of my space is covered in crumbs!

    what an adorable apron!

    That apron's nicer than any DRESS I own!!

    My favorite kitchen tool is the rubber spatula. Its always needed and works great.

    Wow - that can't possibly be an apron, it's too gorgeous, I'd want to wear that to go out, not to cook!!!

    My favorite kitchen accessory is my herb chopper and bowl shaped cutting board. Perfect for whipping up some pesto or chopping some fresh rosemary. Sure I could use a knife and regular cutting board, but what fun would that be? Although the beautiful apron would quickly replace it as my favorite accessory. :)

    I love my electric teapot! Never thought I would, but I use it several times a day. Money well spent. When I get the beautiful apron, I won't even take it off to sit and drink my tea/coffee!

    My favorite kitchen tool is my Cuisinart food processor. Next in line is my husband, who chops things nearly as well as the food processor does.

    My favorite kitchen accessory (besides my wife) is my Moka pot. This apron would probably edge my wife ahead...

    My favorite kitchen accessory? Probably my Wusthof Chef's knife. That apron is gorgeous!

    My favorite kitchen accessory is my mandoline. Who knew slicing could be that easy!

    erober01aolcom

    That apron is beautiful!

    Definitely my mortar & pestle, I use it almost as often as my chef's knife!

    Fave: walnut cutting board.

    Apron: wow.

    Contest: please enter me :)

    My favorite kitchen accessory is my silver labrador puppy Sterling. He relaxes nearby while I stir pots and chop veggies. His favortie treats are now carrot tops and asparagus ends. My Kitchen Aid mixer gifted by my mother-in-law comes in second.

    My favorite kitchen accessory is an old kitchen towel that I "borrowed" from my aunt, who "borrowed" it from my grandmother. It used to actually be out on the farm. Simple yellow gingham.

    Lovely!

    My favorite kitchen accessory is my oven thermometer, which is really more of a tool, but I couldn't cook without it!

    The Pepper Kids have such beautiful aprons on their site!

    My favorite kitchen accessory is my wheeled cart. It provides extra counter space and storage for my apartment kitchen, and can be moved around as needed. I love to cook, but I don't have much space to work in, so this really helps!

    My favorite kitchen tool is my boyfriend. I make him stir and measure while I do all the chopping and it seems to make things fly much faster than doing them solo.

    I love aprons, so that would be one of my favourite kitchen aids, the other is probably my big enamel cast iron pot, it's useful for pretty much every meal. Oh, and a good knife.

    my favorite kitchen accessory is my panini grill.

    Let me win!! To cute I can't wait to cook in it!!

    I love my dough whisk from poland. It's perfect for mixing sticky nytimes no-knead sourdough.

    p.s.: I love my heart-shaped cookie cutters, which I actually also use to shape food to put into bento boxes...

    I can't live without my silicon spatula. It's dark blue and stains don't stick to it. Take that spaghetti sauce!

    My favorite kitchen tool is my dishwasher :) I've got a ton of other tools, but this one saves me the most time!

    It's gorgeous!! I would look like such a hot hostess in this!

    I'd say my chef's knife, though that's more fundamental than an accessory. My silicone hot pads are great accessories--I never feel any warmth from objects I pull out of the oven, and they double as trivets.

    my favorite kitchen accessory is probably my cuisinart blender/food processor. i bought it brand new for $20 off of cragislist and i use it almost daily. it's such a great spacesaver in a tight kitchen and it works like a charm.

    if i won that apron i would probably have to figure out a way to wear it outside of the kitchen too! it is beautiful.

    favorite kitchen thing: good knives. nothing fancy, just something that cuts well.

    My favorite kitchen item is anything from my mom's kitchen that she either gave to me or that I surreptitiously stole over the years. My food reflects the joy I get using the tools that my mother oh so patiently taught me with.

    My favorite kitchen tool is my little food proccesor. It's tiny and perfect since I usually only cook for one or two.

    I just got a silicone basting brush with a 2 oz reservoir that I love!

    My favorite kitchen accessory is my grandmother's set of dishtowels. They have little oranges on them and are so vintage!

    Oh those are cute!!

    My favorite kitchen accessory is my mandolin! It makes sandwich and salad making soooo much easier - canning too.

    my current favorite kitchen gadget is the avocado slicer, a flexy plastic thing that yields perfect wedges of avocado

    Favorite cooking item is my heart shaped Le Creuset pot. Its perfect when cooking for two. This apron would match nicely.

    My fave kitchen accessory is the knife magnet -- keeps them all in plain sight and I don't worry about what's lurking in those knife block slots.

    I love there aprons. Aprons have got to be my favorite accessory for the kitchen. You can never have too many. Too cute!

    My favourite kitchen accessory is my kitchen scissors, I use them for everything, pizza, herbs, I even cut up chicken breasts and sausages with them as I'm too lazy to find my cutting board.

    My favorite kitchen accessory is the Microplane - so sharp and easy to clean. I adore this apron!!! Fantastic design!

    I have to say that I love my Mario Batali silicone spatula! It was a gift and I've since bought other MB kitchen tools.

    My favorite kitchen accesory is my red metallic toaster! I use it often, and it adds some retro style to my kitchen...just like that gorgeous apron would.

    I love this apron... It is gorgeous!!
    My favorite kitchen accessory is my Tupperware chopper. I use it for everything from onions to chocolate. Great kitchen tool!

    WOW! That apron is just gorgeous and there is nothing like looking nice while cooking a meal :) My favorite kitchen accessory is my Bosch Mixer.

    My Blog entry:
    http://www.traininghearts.com/blog/?p=329

    my favorite accessory is one of those tweezer things that is like 2 chopsticks held together with a spring in the middle. it's super handy.
    (i am also a big fan of my lemon zester, for the record)

    also - fantastic apron. i hope i win!

    What a cool apron! I'd love to have one.

    My favorite kitchen accessory, would be my kitchen aid blender. I use it for so many things! It works good as a food processor (which I don't have).

    My favorite kitchen accessory, among many, in the end has to be my coffeemaker. Sleek, black, yet modestly priced, its charms are beyond number.

    It's got a lovely little retro "Mr. Coffee" logo on the front that takes me back to simpler times, when my mother's kitchen was avocado and gold and our den carpet was orange shag and caught all the crumbs from her peanut butter cookies.

    It has a removable basket with few crevices in which encrusted moist grounds can lurk to taint the fresh brew with their noxious taste.

    It has a clear glass measuring carafe which is very useful for measuring liquids in amounts like 6 cups, or 3 quarts.

    And it has a timer which I can easily set so that fragrant strong coffee is waiting when I weave my drowsy way into the kitchen after a night spent battling the forces of Evil in my dreams.

    Truly, I love my coffeemaker.

    Thank you for listening.

    Ok Ok, I have actually 2 things that I can call my favorite Kitchen "helpers". My garbage disposal and dishwasher, you see my husband and I just recently moved for the first time in our 10 years as a military family on to POST HOUSING, we have always lived off post. We in the 3 homes we have lived in during that time we never had a garbage disposal or a working dishwasher, so when we just moved on to post( a couple of months ago) the thrill of knowing we had both (and working) was so cool, we literally feel we have moved up a lil bit in the appliance world. So for now those are my two favorite things in the kitchen.

    This apron is GORGEOUS!!!!! I might would be tempted to wear heels cooking while using my fave - my Kitchen Aid mixer.

    My favorite kitchen tool is my VitaMix blender. I use it everyday. We make smoothies, sauces, soups, milkshakes, ice cream.... I LOVE it!

    My favorite kitchen tool is a 12" long wooden stick. The top is carved and beveled. It is about 1/4 in thick at the bottom and a bit wider at the top. I don't know the original purpose or name of "the stick" but I use it many times a day.My mother gave it to me about 13 years ago. It is like the stem of a wooden spoon. I use it to stir& test pasta,stir pasta sauce, mix cake batter, roll dough, smash and bang (garlic,nuts,meat etc), shape jelly-log cookies, poke food down the disposal,and so on. It can take heat, cold, it's easy to wash. It is also easy/comfortable to handle/hold. I only wish I had another one.

    This has to be the prettiest apron I have ever seen! My favorite kitchen tool is my skinny scraper. It makes clean up much quicker. I love to cook, but not the clean up. Anything that makes it quicker is good in my book.

    My favorite kitchen accessory would have to be my Kitchen Aid mixer. It's made my life much easier.

    This apron is beautiful!

    My favorite kitchen tool is my little plastic spreader or my "boat motor"/stick blender. Love 'em both!

    I love my kitchenaid stand mixer and food processor. I wouldn't be able to bake or make hummus without them!

    Love, love, love the apron!
    My fav kitch accessory is my handmade blackboard.

    count me in please

    My favorite kitchen accessory is a handed-down Kitchen Aide mixer from my in-laws, that was little-used by them and was passed on to me when they were visiting and saw me make bread by hand and using a wimpy hand-mixer to make a cake. It now has its home in my kitchen, were it earns its keep on regular basis.

    My favorite kitchen accessories are my cookbooks. I am a cookbook junkie. Having so many great culinary ideas in one place is so inspiring.
    I love this apron- it is so elegant. Please enter me in the contest. Thanks

    Wow - that is one cool apron! Oh how I love it! My fav kitchen accessory just has to be my kitchen aid mixer, everyone loves thiers I know, buit I love mine more because I found it at a yard sale for just $40!!! Can you say bargain!!!

    What a great apron! I hope I win!! My favorite accessory has got to be my Pampered Chef slice n grate. I love it!

    I don't have anything as pretty as that apron in my kitchen (yet!). Right now my favorite accessory is this ancient old wooden spoon. It' worn and sturdy and I just love the way it feels in my hand and when I'm stirring/scraping/scooping with it. If I win the apron I may dress the spoon up with a pretty ribbon or something. :)

    I love my KitchenAid-helps me watch a toddler and bake at the same time! I've posted the banner, but couldn't figure out how to make it link, so added a link to my sidebar as well. Hope I win!

    My favourite kitchen accessory is my garlic press. I love to use garlic when I am cooking.

    My favorite kitchen accessory is my egg slicer - I use it to slice eggs, olives, strawberries, and all kinds of things. It is perfect for summer salads!

    My favorite kitchen accessory is my timer. When it goes off, it sounds similar to a countdown to a bomb explosion. But I never fail to take something out of the oven!

    Enter me! I am cutting it close :)

    Wow, it makes me want to be a housewife and bake some muffins.

    Favorite kitchen accesory? Cute dishtowels and very clean, white dishrags. I'm not sure why, maybe they just give me the feeling that all might be cleaned up after all!

    Beautiful aprons. I'd be afraid of staining it!

    Very nice...please enter me!
