Pino Calls for Aprons

Katherine Dunn of Apifera Farm is an artist, farmer, writer, baker of pies and lover of all animals, especially donkeys...


...she illustrates stories with her charming drawings....


...and paints the most beautiful pictures.


She's written a book which is coming out in November.


Katherine shares her farm with the very young.....


both people and animals...


...and the...not so young.


Once a year, she bakes pies....lots of pies....and invites people to come and share her farm...
and her pies...


and she sells aprons to raise money to support senior animals and then be able to hold private pie parties for hospice workers, senior citizens, school groups etc...so they can enjoy pie...


...and the donkeys of Apifera.



This year, I am excited to be a....PIE AMBASSADOR!  This means, I am collecting aprons to mail to Pino and Katherine in Oregon for pie day.
If you would like to contribute one...vintage or new, please contact me at
 and I will send it on to Pino.  This will be my LAST CALL for aprons, as I hope to mail them out by the middle of the month.  I would love to include your offering in the apron package.
And be sure to visit Apifera to see more of Katherine's art, donkeys, farm and charitable endeavors.

  1. I came across her charming blog just this week. Animals, pies and aprons - what a perfect nostalgic combination. I'll iron one of my aprons and send it along :) It's Battenburg Lace - who can resist? Thank you for sharing :)
