Cook up a storm in a teacup: Solitaire aprons

Practical and pretty, I really like these cotton aprons from Solitaire. They feature beautiful hand-drawn and hand-printed illustrations that turn out to be cunningly useful. See the lovely tea vintage style tea cup on this apron?

Et voila! The teacup doubles as a pocket where you can store your utensils or other stuff. Their other aprons work on the same principle too, and there's something for every taste.

This is surely the perfect apron for any cupcake loving Domestic Slut.

And this is the very picture of a perfectly genteel old-fashioned teapot complete with co-ordinating apron strings.

For £26 each, if only my hostessing skills were as charming as these aprons!
