Rick Racked Apron

A Little Trim Can Make a Big Difference

There was a time when a length of rickrack could brighten just about anything. Aprons, curtains, pillowcases, children's dresses—those cheerful little waves of color found their way into homes where making something by hand was simply what people did.

Rick Racked is a celebration of those memories. Rows of colorful rickrack dance across a soft cream background, creating an apron that feels playful without being fussy. It has the unmistakable charm of a vintage kitchen, where jars of homemade jam line the pantry shelves and every recipe has a story behind it.

Whether you're preserving the summer harvest, baking a favorite family cake, or simply enjoying a quiet afternoon in the kitchen, Rick Racked reminds us that happiness often lives in the little details.

The Pantry Shelf

Cynthia Chapman believes every pantry ought to have one shelf that isn't there for necessity.

It is the shelf where the blackberry preserves sit beside the strawberry jam, where pickles wait for winter suppers, and where one lonely jar always remains because nobody wants to open the last one.

"It isn't about saving the jam," she says with a grin.

"It's about remembering there was a summer worth putting in a jar."
