Chocolate & Cherries Apron

"Some recipes are measured with cups and spoons. The sweetest ones begin with a smile... and maybe a little chocolate on your fingertips."

There's something wonderfully old-fashioned about making chocolate-covered cherries. It isn't hurried work. One cherry at a time is dipped, lifted, and set aside to cool—little acts of patience that somehow make the finished treat taste even sweeter.

Chocolate and Cherries was inspired by those quiet afternoons in a farmhouse kitchen where the windows are open, the kettle is warm, and someone can't resist sampling a bit of melted chocolate before the recipe is finished. Life gives us plenty of reasons to hurry. This apron is a gentle reminder that some of the sweetest moments are the ones we take slowly... one cherry at a time.

The cheerful cherry print dances across a creamy background while rich cherry-red coordinates frame the design with warmth and comfort. It's an apron that feels right at home during the holidays, for Valentine's treats, summer cherry season, or simply whenever the kitchen calls for something sweet. Slip on Chocolate and Cherries, tie your hair up, and put on your favorite music. Fill a bowl with fresh cherries, melt a little chocolate, and don't worry if you sneak a taste or two along the way.

After all, the best memories are rarely made by following the recipe perfectly.

From the Mercantile

A Word from Gert Patrick

"Customers often ask which apron is my favorite. That changes nearly every week, but I do have a weakness for one that reminds folks to enjoy themselves while they're working. If an apron can make you smile before supper is even started, I'd call that money well spent."
