Little Reminders Apron

Sometimes the things we need most are the simplest things to remember.

A little gratitude. A little kindness. A reminder to stop for a moment and notice the good things right in front of us. Little Reminders was made for just that—the Thanksgiving apron that quietly fills the kitchen with cheerful reminders while you go about the business of making a meal, setting a table, or gathering everybody you love.

The warm golden-orange cotton is covered in a wonderfully old-fashioned scatter of colorful words and phrases: Happy Thanksgiving, Blessings, Give Thanks, and Let’s Be Thankful. The dark brown binding gives the apron a handsome outline, while the generous front pocket repeats the same happy fabric. The crossbody construction keeps the apron comfortably in place without a tie around the waist, and the full lower apron provides plenty of coverage without feeling heavy.

And this one is very, very lightweight. Made from lightweight washable cotton, Little Reminders is an easy apron to wear while you're cooking, serving, baking, or simply puttering around the kitchen. It folds easily, washes easily, and is light enough that you may forget you're wearing it—until somebody reads your apron and smiles.

From the Mercantile

At the Mercantile, we have a saying: Some things are worth being reminded of.

I imagine Little Reminders belonging to the woman who knows exactly where the good serving platter is kept, who can make a Thanksgiving dinner seem to appear from nowhere, and who will pause halfway through filling a plate because someone across the room has just said something that made her laugh. She's not in a hurry. There is always time for one more story, one more helping, and one more reason to be thankful.

Maybe that's what makes this little apron so dear. It doesn't tell you anything you don't already know. It just puts the reminders where you can see them.
