    What an awesome addition to my Italian kitchen. I am 100% Italiano, and having visited the motherland, I want to be as Italian as I can be. This apron would surely help.

    Grazie.

    This apron is molto bella! Wearing this apron would spice up my cooking skills and will help me recreate the Italian dishes from your blog! My trip to Italy a few years ago furthered my love affair with all things Italian! Especially the men and FOOD! 🙂

    I need to have an apron from Sharon to celebrate her love of Italy and my Italian roots. With a German last name I have a hard time convincing some that I am Italian down to my toes, although once you come to know me, it is pretty obvious!

    But wearing the apron will certainly be an honor! and a conversation opener!

    I need this apron post haste! To cook the mushroom risotto recipe which Sharon herself (she puts the bella in portabella) taught me; Otherwise tomorrow her two lovely daughters may balk at my (safron infused mushroom broth with melted parm and white wine) splattered chinos. Nar dogs welcome.

    Because you’re already in my heart every time I cook–your apron may as well be protecting it from the mess of chopping, blending, and sautéing my heart out!

    I need this apron to shamelessly promote your blog to all of these foodie Austinites. And prevent stained clothes – a fate that too often befalls me while cooking.

    Hi, I need this apron to give to my husband for Father’s Day. In his big Italian family they call getting tomato sauce splaters on their shirts “Medals”! Well wiith sauce making season coming upon us, this apron will be a blessing as I would have less MEDALS to remove from his clothes!

    Since you are mailing free only to the U.S. who ever delivers this apron to me in Italy between June 2 to Sept 1 will receive a fabulous prepared meal (vino incluso) by me wearing the apron. That person can also stay for two nights in beautiful Pisciotta,a medieval village in the mountains overlooking the sea.

    If I won the apron, I would prepare Italian feasts while wearing it and then say dolce far niente quite a few times as I digested afterwards.
