  1. Hi Jamie Ann! What a great contest! You know I love your aprons and I'll be posting on my blot today about the one we emailed about! Hmmm, now let me see, my 14 yr old daughter shows absolutely no interest in the domestic arts, though she does know how to microwave her own food. It's the men in my house who love to cook! My 11 year old son recently made chicken pot pie soup for our dinner with very little supervision! He cut all the veggies himself, sauted the onions and he even crushed mixed peppers with his very own morter & pestel he recently bought at World Market! The soup was delicious and it's just too funny to watch him work so hard to crush that pepper until it's just perfect. He works on it while watching cartoons and puts it in a container he labeled "speciale pepper" (his spelling!) and every night he sprinkles a bit of it on his dinner. Gotta love it!

    Thanks for a fun giveaway! I'll email you with the blog link!

  4. Hi Jaime,
    I'm Nancy, like Dianne I am also a member of Make Mine Pink. Your designs are outstanding! I love your color combinations and style. Posh would have to be my fav. Cooking memory, well I have 4 children and one day they decided they wanted to make a polish noodle called Kluski. Their aunt made them one day for the children. So I got all the ingredients for them. I had to step out for a bit. When I returned, I no longer had a raspberry and teal kitchen, it was flour white. Their was only one solution to clean up this mess, the vacuum cleaner. So I gathered the children, the 3 vacuums we had and told them to suck it up before their father got home. The Kluski's did turn out good though.
    Huggs,
    Nancy

  6. Love the concept! You have got some nice styles and your fabric choices are terrific. I am also a member of Make Mine Pink and found you via Diane's blog. I would have to choose the Marilyn, my grandaughters love sparkles!
    My favorite cooking memories are the ones spent with my four grandchildren every year making Christmas cookies. And my 'sparkly' grandaughters cover the sugar cookies with as many decorations you could possibly fit onto one cookie--these are worthy of sun glasses!
    Good luck in your new business-come visit us over at Make Mine Pink!

BiRDY 101

@ BiRDY we realize that....

ONE SIZE DOESN'T FIT MOST!

If you've ever shopped for aprons, you're familiar with that pesky "one size fits most" tag. @ BiRDY we say "no, no, no it doesn't"! I've spent countless hours & yards of fabric developing designs that not only fit, but flatter every modern home maven! So, even if you're a bit more pear than par, pint-sized, or downright curve-a-licious, there is a BiRDY for you!

EVERYONE NEEDS A LITTLE BIRDY IN THEIR LIFE!
Jerky, chauvinistic boss? House full of chaos & piles of laundry? Whether you're overworked, underpaid, or just plain blah, slip on a BiRDY and you're guaranteed to find yourself feeling instantly fabulous...even if that moment is fleeting! @ BiRDY we feel very strongly that every modern home maven needs a little happy luxe in their everyday!

GIVE & YOU SHALL RECEIVE!
@ BiRDY we just want to remind you that nothing feels more wonderful than knowing you've brightened someone else's day! So, when you buy yourself that Flirty BiRDY frock, just order 2 & share BiRDY with all the fabulous modern home mavens in your life!

Modern Home Maven?

@ BiRDY WE ROCK THE FROCK!
Our designs are updated for the modern home maven to be practical, chic, tailored, flattering, and so much more! Whether you're fluffing a nest for one, two, or ten...
Whether you wear BiRDY to garden, tidy up, craft, teach, bake, sip martinis, paint, or just feel fabulous...YOU are the Modern Home Maven!

Once upon a time....

My grandmother (Moma Jo) claims it all began when she shared the creation story with me as a tiny tot. She says it's like the concept of creation just seemed to fascinate me. When other kids had imaginary friends, I had imaginary businesses! Early ventures (circa early 80's) included sewing tiny doll pillows on my Holly Hobbie sewing machine, crafting potpourri from clover blossoms & mom's White Shoulders perfume, puff painted Christmas sweatshirst (actually sold some of those), and of course a greeting card company! Nearly 3 decades later, my tiny dreams have begun to come true. I have REAL, fully licensed business with REAL customers from all over the country & Canada!

The name "BiRDY" originated as a play off an old, chauvinistic slang term for women & my desire to spin that into something positive & even empowering. It began with just 3 simple styles offered on my home site (www.jamieannjohnson.com) for the holiday 2008 season. Thanks to a great response & many special requests, I realized the need for not only an updated apron, but an updated concept as well. I've spent countless hours & yards of fabric creating original designs (I make my own patterns) inspired by fashion, not by aprons! I want for every gal to feel fabulous, which is why I offer the varying sizes & things like the "fit & flatter" design.

Bachelorettes, working moms, divas, single moms, social butterflies, WAHMS, fabulous gals of all shapes & sizes...
hang up your aprons & BUY BUY BiRDY!

Jamie Ann =)
