Giveaway: 2 Roo Garden Aprons

By Mavis Butterfield on -

roo apron giveaway

A few months ago the good people of Roo Aprons sent me one to try {Roo Apron, like kangaROO pouch. Get it. Clever, right?!}. Even though I was a bit skeptical that an apron could be as cool as they claimed, I gave it a try. I used it for the first time when picking apples and let me tell you Bob, it was the coolest thing ever. Way easier than lugging around a bag or box to collect them in. I didn’t have to carry anything else around except myself. How awesome is that?

Well I fell in love with the thing so I told you about it {I even gave a few away during the 24 Days of Christmas Giveaways}, and so many of you bought them and fell in love with them too. If you’ve never tried the Roo apron, here are a few reason I think you’ll love it:

  • It’s made from industrial strength cotton so it’s tough as nails.
  • It has a water resistant nylon storage pouch so nothing will leak through to your clothes or poke you through the apron.
  • The plastic hooks allow for easy release of the pouch.
  • It has self adjusting straps that make for a comfortable fit for all sizes.
  • I can throw the apron I’ve dirtied into the washing machine with all my other laundry!
  • The Roo is very affordable!

Seeing as how I love my Roo so much, it just made sense to have ANOTHER Roo Apron Giveaway! So TWO lucky readers will win a Roo Apron of their very own!

  51. Sharon says

    I love the turquoise one. I get the daily newsletter and follow you on Facebook. I love all the hints and ideas you have. You encourage me greatly. We are headed for a late frost tonight which h could be devastating. I have strawberries that are green, peas are up and so are potatoes, not to mention roses budded, lilies up and even iris with buds. There is no way I can cover it all.

  278. Jen P says

    I would love the Roo in turquoise and am a big fan of yours…following you on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and will try to add you on Google+…I have lots to learn about that one and the others. 🙂

    turquoise. oh love your blog. can’t belive i went so long with out knowing you were on facebook. now following. 🙂 and on pinterest too.

  283. theheineken says

    My wife says turquoise, I say red. So it really doesn’t matter if my name gets pulled from the hat. Love the concept, I’ve ruined quite a few Brandywine tomatoes when they slip out of the over-full colander and burst their seams on the mulch.

  301. lindaharper says

    I would love the red one. It would be perfect for me as we just planted about 50 fruit trees and fruiting bushes! I can totally see me wearing this every day!

  306. lindaharper says

    I am signed up to your newsletter. I love making sure I don’t miss any of your postings!! It’s my favorite thing to read all day.

  320. Heather says

    I would love use the Roo Apron! Either color is fine with me. I’m following in your footsteps. I made my official announcement of attempting to grow at least 500 pounds of produce this year. I hope I’m underestimating myself ;o)

  326. Donna Richardson says

    Ohhhh, turquoise please! I have been following you on FB and I get your emails as well. You are a daily fix for me!

  327. sindy says

    I think wearing the turquoise would make me extra happy! Thanks it is like having an extra arm and who wouldn’t love that.

  328. sindy says

    I am a daily email subscriber and I look forward to them everyday. Thanks for all you do to make me smile on a daily basis.

  342. sharon says

    Turquoise would be first choice.
    Due to my non-tech status, I only follow your blog which is just fine….. enjoy the great tips and interesting posts.

  349. Lynda says

    Red…so the chickens can see me coming to gather up all of their eggs…much better than my bulky brown sweater with all the damn holes in the elbows and pockets!

  360. Stacey says

    I would choose red because it’s my husband’s favorite color. Besides, it makes me think of the apples I’ll pick from an orchard next fall when I move back to Vermont 🙂 !!!

    The turquoise looks gorgeous and so handy. Gotta love this for apple picking from a ladder-no bucket to knock over and your apples won’t get bruised!

  399. Bonnie says

    I posted a comment on the “Cheese Bus” picture post!!! We have Pinconning Cheese in Northeast Michigan!

  402. Mary Ann White says

    Hi Mavis,

    I would give a turquoise roo apron to my spouse for picking crops in the garden in our backyard.

  405. Shari King says

    Turquoise would be my choice! I’d (almost) like to win this apron more than the lottery! They are sooooo cool!

  411. Sherry J says
