Mauri Davis Lewis: I am the product visionary of Sistahs Vintage Aprons and newly retired teacher after thirty-two years in the field. Being able to create lovely products sustained me through a very difficult career. Having a lovely item to look at, be admired and sold to an appreciative audience always outweighed an evening of vegging in front of the t.v. or polishing off a bottle of anything
alcoholic. No hangover and money in my pocket for producing a great product is quite heady.

I am looking forward to introducing new creations to discerning customers looking for unique gifts for the holiday season. It is so enjoyable to have regular supporters come back and have delightful conversation while engaging in selling. I anticipate a great deal of fun introducing new styles and fabric patterns. My aprons are limited edition items. Each fabric and pattern combination is made in limited numbers which makes for more product appeal as a gift item. The another appeal is the interaction that occurs between the vendors. There is a true comaraderie that happens at these events which seems to makes the day fly by. A  lot of fun is had by vendors and customers.
