Kitsch 'n' Green Apron - January

Some kitchens never go out of style—they simply keep collecting good memories.

Kitsch 'n' Green is a variation of our Kitsch 'n' Kitchen apron, another cheerful nod to the bright, optimistic kitchens of the 1950s and 1960s, when cheerful colors, happy patterns, and well-loved cookware filled the heart of the home. The lively green bodice is paired with whimsical bands of vintage teapots, cups, and kitchen treasures, creating an apron that's as joyful as the recipes made while wearing it. It's a celebration of everyday cooking, well-used recipe boxes, and the kind of kitchens where everyone naturally gathered.

Handcrafted in my South Carolina workshop, this comfortable crossback apron slips on with ease and stays comfortable throughout the day without neck straps or waist ties. A generous front pocket keeps recipe cards, wooden spoons, garden seed packets, or a favorite kitchen towel close at hand. Every apron is individually sewn, making each one a handmade companion for countless meals and memories.

January has a way of inviting us back into the kitchen. The holiday decorations have been packed away, the house grows quieter, and there's comfort in simmering soups, fresh loaves of bread, and favorite family recipes. Kitsch 'n' Green feels right at home on those peaceful winter afternoons when the kettle whistles, something wonderful is baking in the oven, and the kitchen once again becomes the warmest room in the house.

Like every apron in The Almanac Collection, Kitsch 'n' Green celebrates the simple pleasures that give each month its own personality. It's an apron made to be worn often, loved well, and perhaps one day passed along with a favorite recipe tucked safely inside its pocket.

A Word from Margaret McGill
McGill's Curb Market

"After Christmas, everybody thinks January is the quiet month. I don't believe that for a second. It's when folks come looking for soup bones, fresh vegetables, flour, and a little conversation. A good kitchen doesn't hibernate in January—it simply settles in for a long visit."
