No More Morel?

I am… a mushroom; On whom the dew of heaven drops now and then.
-John Ford

It’s always sad when our prints are discontinued. I get attached to them, especially Morel. I love mushrooms! I have them in front of my house – they’re the first thing you see as you come to the door. They’re in my backyard living with the gnomes and scattered throughout the house. So, I guess you could say that I like them!

I used to not even eat them, though. I picked them off my pizza and ate around them in salad. But when I got pregnant with my son, my tastes completely changed and I was cooking a new mushroom recipe every night! I couldn’t get enough of them. Soon, I bought anything with mushrooms on it and I longed for my mother’s orange 70’s mushroom canister set!

I was new at Kitsch*n Glam when we introduced the Morel print. I helped name it, which is harder than you’d think! We even covered my bulletin boards at the office in Morel fabric.

Our Morel Hat, which is now sold out, was even featured alongside our Ginger Totebag in the April 2008 Real Simple Magazine.

Customers always ask me why we discontinue prints. The simple answer is that we have to make room for new ones. We have 5 new prints for Fall and will probably have just as many in 6 more months. If we kept every print, we’d go crazy trying to manage it all!

We do still have a few Morel items left, but not many and when they’re gone, that’s it for Morel. Goodbye, my sweet mushroom friend.

As Seen On TV

Our Ginger Ruffle was worn on an episode of Journeyman and is now being sold on ebay. The episode was kind of dark and the woman wearing it was being held hostage – but at least she had her apron on!

Day After Day

It’s the weekend! It’s hot and sunny outside – the perfect day for 2 hot blondes who were definitely ahead of their time – Frances Day and Doris Day.

I’m a sucker for a good read on a hot day and these two women don’t disappoint. You may know Doris Day from her long career as a singer and actress, but you have probably never heard of Frances Day. Once you read her story though, I doubt you will be able to forget her.

Unlike Doris, there is little known about Frances and very little film of her. Click here to see Frances perform with The Savoy Hotel Orpheans.

So to celebrate 2 weekend days of sun, I give you 2 beautiful Days. Enjoy!

Kitsch is Hip!

Perfect for crafters, cooks and gardeners – our new Hip Aprons were introduced this Spring in 4 prints. We like to wear them around the office – they keep the disappearing pens within reach!

There are 2 large pleated pockets on one side of the apron, but they are completely reversible! Keep those pens, scissors and and other necessities at your fingertips!

Living up to her reputation as the “goddess of a thousand works“, Minerva is now included in our line of hip aprons. She’s our favorite green-eyed goddess!

Shown above is the Ginger Hip Apron and Reversible Hat. You didn’t know we make hats, too, did you?

Please check our Who Us? page for ordering information.

Are You A Modern Wife?

Well, apparently, I am! And that’s a good thing! The UK’s The Mirror published an ancient text they unearthed from the 1930’s! Though not truly ancient, based on today’s standards it is.

It’s a short quiz, supposedly to test your “housewife” skills. I took it and based on 1930’s standards, I am a “very poor” housewife – and proud of it!

I often think that I was born in the wrong era, but this makes me realize that we’re better off today, ladies. I’m so glad that darning socks, forgoing red nail polish and letting my husband sleep late on Sundays is no longer required of a “good” wife!
