The Ribbon in My Journal – Phyllis Hoffman DePiano

If We’re Going to Cook, Let’s Wear Something Pretty While Doing It!

Aprons are one of those gifts that become more and more special with each use. Just like pages of a cookbook that are stained with cake batter, the more wear and tear an apron gets, the more you know it has done its job and the more memories it holds. For us cooks, each little stain created in between washes is like a tiny badge of honor!

These aprons by Taylor Linens are The Cottage Journal’s very first product! And we are so excited by all of the wonderful comments we have heard about them already. Each apron is 100% machine washable, ties in the back, and has an adjustable neck strap. Sounds like the perfect Mother’s Day gift to me!

Taylor Linens combines the breezy culture of Southern California with the simple charm of home in their designs. Their soft products reflect a cozy aesthetic and an array of pastel colors. These aprons are available in three patterns­­—Charleston Aqua, The Lucy, and The Sarah (my favorite). See, even the names are intriguing! The Charleston Aqua is covered in a cheery geometric print, raspberry-red flowers blend into a creamy background on sweetly romantic Sarah, and raspberry-and-yellow blooms span across a pretty pale blue-green shade on Lucy!

Whether you’re shopping for a Mother’s Day gift or treating yourself to one of these aprons, I truly believe it is a time-honored piece that will be used for years to come. Shop the collection by clicking HERE.
