our inspiring customers


our very first customer 
is still a big fan. 
and he cooks everyday.

devour has been a bestseller for years.
it has been framed, made into a pillow, 
hung as a curtain, and oh,
used as a kitchen towel, too.



stripes in copper - 
always a perpetual favorite, 
providing inspiring ways to "use me".



sharing dinner: 
parmesan and butter risotto, 
assisted by cook.

6 ways to give dad an apron


does your dad love to cook and grill?
we thought of a few ways to dress up a café apron
and we're sure you can think of something special 
that fits his personality to a tee.

here are 6 of our favorites.


1. it's true… dads and kids who cook together, laugh together. 
we found some clever tools to help, 
perfect for healthy eating and lots of smiles. 

2. essentials for father's day: 
a saw to cut the cake, a professional ice cream scoop, 
and an apron to just look good while dishing it up. yum!


3. create a complete package for any dad in the kitchen: 
some practical and helpful tools, that make him look good too! 

4. your very cool dad will love his new apron 
when you hand him a lemonade with moustache ice cubes 
and a classy straw.


5. get outside and play. 
here are some easy games to play while grilling. 
take a break, chase a frisbee, and start a paddleball challenge.

6. he'll look especially sporting in his apron 
with his favorite team's ball cap and a matching bandana. 
dress him up on his special day.



 wrapping it up:

butcher paper wrap
keep it simple and "in the kitchen" with butcher paper and twine.
(and don't forget to make him a card!)

funny papers wrap
if your dad is funny, this is perfect.
grab the sunday comics before he gets to them. 
he will definitely smile when he sees his present.

natural inspiration

I saw these leaves on a neighbor's tree on may 4, 2008. 
the shape inspired me, 
so I snipped them for my leaf collection.

I often revisit that collection, 
especially when designing for springtime.


the leaf turned into a pinwheel, and 13 stripes got lucky.
 
our newest designs for spring 2014 
are being screened and sewn right now.

coming soon :)
