Those of you who know me, know that I spend a lot of time in the kitchen. I bake. I chop. I even cook dinner most nights. What am I thinking? To make matters worse .....I wear an apron!
It must be out of pure self preservation, that I grab an apron each night as I start dinner, or each time I decide to make a batch of cookies. You see, I am a kitchen slob. Be it flour or gravy, I wipe my hands on ME! Blame it on my artist/painting days, when I would wipe my paint covered hands on ME! Always ME!
I also love the romance of an apron. Blame it on the movies. Blame it on the cooking shows, but whatever the case, I need to feel the part of kitchen chef, and an apron is my uniform. When I am in the kitchen, I am the CEO and I am in charge. (I don't have a whole lot of power in my life, so play with me here ...).
Running around the web the other day when I stumbled on the great find of Carolyn's Kitchen, home of vintage inspired aprons and must have gloves!
Now, these are not your mother's aprons and certainly not your grandmother's gloves. These babies are whimsy at it's finest. These are the aprons that you may wear as you greet your husband at the door ...(use your imagination here), or gift to a new bride. These are the aprons that you will share with your daughter as you share the joys of cupcakes and boys. These aprons are magic. Kitchen magic.
What task does not come easier when you look cute? Dressed in these gloves it may just be a bit less repulsive to clean that boy's bathroom or pick up their dirty laundry. Who knows? At least your manicure will be safe and you do look cute.
Pop on over to Carolyn's Kitchen, read her story and become inspired. Fun idea for holiday gifting ....enjoy!
