Hey everyone! We at the DarlingSparrow etsy shop would love to offer a lucky vanillajoy reader a one-of-a-kind handmade children’s smock-aprons (apparently that’s a less confusing term than “smoprons.” Go figure.)
Let’s talk about these adorable things, shall we? Each vintage inspired smock is unique, functional, and timelessly stylish – a delightfully cheerful mix of prints, patterns, and color on a classic smock shape. (Some even have pockets! Little hearts are pitter-pattering at this moment and don’t know why, but there’s an 83% chance it’s something pocket-related. The other 17% is probably hovering around “fruit snacks.”)
Why do you want one? Let us count the ways…
1 – They’re just stinking cute.
2 – Protect regular clothes during any and all messy projects, including baking, painting, eating, gluing, decorating, gardening, you name it.
3 – Easy-on, easy-off (a secret Velcro closure is hidden by a large vintage button. Sheer genius).
4 – One-of-a-kind handmade – no mass production here. Which we, as moms ourselves, happen to love.
5 – Will fit for years and years. No lie – I have an 8-year-old who can still wear our size Small smock when necessary.
6 – Each comes with a free muslin gift bag, so it’s immediately ready for gifting.
They make fabulous gifts for your own kids or for your friends’ kids…or for yourself to have on-hand for cute little visitors. We sincerely hope you come to love them as much as we do!

Hard to choose! But I think I’d pick the black gingham with blue floral stripe. That blue stripe is calling my daughter’s name, too, though… I’m a sucker for rick rack!

I like them all but I was really drawn to the black gingham with blue floral. I would give it to my 6 year old granddaughter. She will love it. Thank you for the opportunity to win.
