What has Covid meant for us? Many things both good and bad actually. Suddenly supplies were not coming into ports.

We learned that we had great suppliers…

Walters Apron, a No Tie Apron for Men
A gentleman wrote an email to me that began with the inquiry. “Why do only women get a No Tie Apron? Why can’t guys have one?

Olive & Grey
The title sounds like a proper name for a blog or new design company. It isn’ t, although I now I am tempted to set off on a new venture based on this exquisite name. I digress. The real subject here is linen colors. We have added both Olive and Charcoal Grey. Time tested, beloved and proven by their everlasting…
