When we do a photoshoot here in the country, rural landscape brings both its rewards and challenges….for instance, our recent shoot had a Rooster that ran around crowing loudly for us to leave. Then there was the dog that must be chained and sat as close as she could per leash and seem to stare…
Spring comes and we can finally crawl out of the studio and head into the gardens and yards around us. Here in Vermont, it takes a long while for the snow to melt but it always does, revealing green lawns and gardens sprinkled with first colors. For Northern Vermonters, we rarely see a crocus here…
It’s fun to dress for cooking. We dress for so many occasions, including work, it makes sense to dress for cooking. If you plan to bury yourself deep into an activity, preparation allows you to more fully embrace the occasion. Whether it be a day of canning, or a day of multiple lasagnas for freezing,…
Sometimes things go together very nicely. For instance, we introduce our Gathering Apron in Linen. There feels a historical connection between these two. Linen is one of the first fibers from which cloth was made. Aprons also share a deeply historical background dating back to ancient times. There is a safe assumption that our ancestral…
We have taken our popular No Ties Cross Back Apron and taken it further to create a new design to offer you. We introduce our new A-Line Apron. It is offered in all of our 9 sizes and 4 length choices. This is what we changed to bring you an additional Crossback No Ties design……
I am writing about our new design that we have named for lack of any other satisfying term, the Long Bib Apron. We took the basic apron form and carved into the typical flat rectangle apron shape to create a waistline. We also widened the skirt all the way around so that it travels into…
This is one of those times when I blog simply to update everyone. It feels a bit lame to not include pictures and links. End of year brings responsibilities like inventory, accounting, and the like. It takes up time. At the same time, it also brings a season of quiet thoughtfulness. And it is in…
I call this reflections Day. It’s the last day of the year. I tend to sit back and reflectively assess how I did in 2017. Although there could be a host of issues, I like to dive into the areas of improvement, especially the ones that implore me with a enticing journey. Last year we…
I don’t know why we didn’t think of it before. We have a page on the website devoted to white aprons. Theater people, reenactment people, and other lovers of our past embrace them mostly. But they so also serve those who look for a traditional apron, whether over a dress or jeans. If…
What is it about linen? I have a deep love affair with it. I love linen aprons. It is my perfect design companion as it flows beautifully into whatever shape I create. Even ridiculous shapes that will never hit the market, linen plays well with me and does its expected part to look beautiful, even…
It is the season of Lavender. I never knew there was a season for it but as we recently traveled to take some good pictures of the Linen Aprons, Lavender seemed to own the land. We found it tucked behind stone walls .. beautifully set under arching branches… We found it…
“I need a longer apron, I need to feel covered.” This was a common request in the beginning of our business and we responded by making very long skirts for our aprons. Our very first aprons had skirts that fell 30″ long. If you were a cook that passionately embraced your work and wanted no…
