"Tastys’ kooky creations are for the fashionista in her culinary lair, so she can simmer in style…"
Dare I say it? Are we all a bit flowered out, Petals? Anyone fancy something a tad more subversive than the latest Cath print to tra-la-la around the kitchen?
Tasty is the latest in a long line of "Apron Couture" companies- not all of them with the fashion credentials, St Martins graduate, Natasha Mason brings to her quirky, silly, stylish little collection of pinnies for big cooks and little cooks alike…
Listing food, English humour, Andy Warhol and Vivienne Westwood as her influences, Natasha’s collection includes the really rather yummy brown and pink nod to Marie Antionette above (Let them eat cake!) , a very daft "Hostess with the Mostest" apron complete with printed pearls and an apron plainly designed for me with "Thinking Mans Crumpet" emblazoned all over it.
Enough already with the bad jokes, Miss May. You are not funny. Go crawl into your culinary lair in a silly pinny…

Oh, you gotta' love a good apron! I bit the bullet this past week….I emptied my treasure chest and listed ALL of my sweet vintage aprons on ebay (nancourt)! I still have several I have not had time to list but I am kissing them all good bye and sending them to new homes. I simply had TOO many! It is bittersweet as many of them have been with me a long while. But, I really never wear them and they were taking up valuable space. However, I now find myself wanting to buy a new one….what is wrong with me??!!
