Into The New Year - Carolyn's Kitchen **Closed**

If you're like me, the chores of housework can really be something you start to dread. It has to be done, but "Oh look, we're out of milk. I better run to the store - the cooking/cleaning will have to wait!" Anything I can find to postpone the inevitable. Now don't get the wrong impression, there's always healthy, wholesome food available at meal time - but it takes a lot to get me in the mood to prepare something really special. .

I've decided to turn over a new domestic leaf in the New Year, and with the help of Carolyn’s Kitchen I've found my motivation! With vintage inspired designs that will make you feel like a domestic goddess - even if it's in dress alone - you won't want to take them off (and trust me, once your husband sees you decked out in Carolyn's designs, he won't either)! With an incredible selection of both full & half aprons, accompanied by embellished gloves to match, you're bound to find a design that will bring out the homemaker extraordinaire in you!

That "there are no desperate housewives in Carolyn’s Kitchen" is the most certainly true! Whether you're the real deal, or just playing "Suzy Homefaker", Carolyn had you in mind when she conceived the concept for Carolyn’s Kitchen. Inspired by a Parisian apron and glove set design, Carolyn began sorting through vintage apron patterns from the '40's and then adding her own special twist with modern fabrics. Her goal being "to bring back the glamour, sexiness, and cuteness of a bygone innocent era. The gloves and fabrics are new and nicer - it's a new and improved version of the '40's." Mission accomplished! Carolyn's designs have been showcased in articles from Bridal Guide to the Washington Post, and everywhere else you can imagine.

Buy it: Need your apron fix? Visit Carolyn’s Kitchen! With aprons starting at just $29.95 she has the apron that fits your budget and tastes. Want to get the full outfit? You can find gloves to match starting at just $22.


Win it: Carolyn wants to help you start your New Year off in style with one of her Red Sweetheart Aprons! How can you win? Simply visit Carolyn’s Kitchen and let me know what other style you would love to own. Please choose a style different than the one listed in the comment before yours - these incredible sponsors deserve a visit!
