Imagine my delight at finding yet two more vintage I Love Lucy patterns on Ebay last week! Not that I’ll ever sew them but the Lucy apron is my size and the Desi apron was my husband’s size – destiny! I love the fact that Desi is going to barbecue in a shirt and tie. As luck would have it, I was unable to be home last Thursday night when the auctions were scheduled to end. I put my highest bids in and crossed my fingers. Happily, I won the Lucy apron for less than half of my highest bid. Imagine how sad I was upon discovering that I lost the matching Desi apron by one bid. Yes, it’s my fault. I should have put a higher bid in but I never thought it would go as high as it did. I honestly thought Lucy’s apron would go for more – silly me! I was so upset that I couldn’t even enjoy winning the Lucy apron because Lucy without Desi….well, it’s just wrong. Now I will have to spend the rest of my life searching for the Desi apron.
Have pity on me, if you have a Desi apron that you’d be interested in selling to a desperate, crazy collector, please contact me! Lucy misses him.
Too bad about losing the pattern. Losing the bid always makes me want something even more!! I hope you can find another one.
Hi! Well, I am searching high and low for these patterns to make up for my husband (who does wear a tie when he cooks) and myself. I love them! Let me know if you ever care to part with them as these patterns are proving impossible to find. Nice blog!
It is July 9, 2008 and there is one on ebay right now and ends July 13. Get on over there and bid on it
so you can complete you duo apron patterns. Good luck.
Ann
Have you ever found another Desi apron pattern?
