bloom where you are

hey there, fabulous readers! happy friday!

since we know many of you are gardeners, cooks and/or potential lovers of all things in the kitchen we wanted to share with you this local gem from around your parts...

developed in the hills of Virginville these beautiful hand towels and aprons by Berks County native, Sara Smedley are a must have for any lap or counter top.

recently Sara's towels have been associated with The National Museum of American History's upcoming exhibit "Transforming the American Table" which includes Julia Child's Cambridge Kitchen and can be found in the pages of the Fall 2012 Smithsonian Catalogue as well as Museum store.

so, if you're hunting for that perfect local gift for your favorite chef this holiday season– look no further! {note that the Fleur de Lis tea towel and apron can only be found exclusively via the Smithsonian store!}

– happy gifting! –
