Vintage cloth collector EllynAnne Geisel is the best-selling author of award-winning The Apron Book and Apronisms, outgrowths of her passion for "the armor of domesticity." What began as a traveling exhibit—"Apron Chronicles: A Patchwork of American Recollections," managed by The Women's Museum in Dallas—has earned her a national spotlight and recognition by The New York Times. Vogue magazine has featured one of her Apron Memories® designs; Bree of ABC's Desperate Housewives has tied on several. And Chase's Calendar of Events recognizes National Tie One On Day™, created by EllynAnne and held on Thanksgiving Eve as an annual observance of gratitude.
The Kitchen Linens Book marks EllynAnne's return to the source of her endless inspiration: the textiles our mothers and grandmothers crafted for both daily comfort and enduring legacy. With her books, designs, exhibits, and storytelling, EllynAnne is tying together a worldwide community of cloth collectors, urging them to "go vintage, go green!"
EllynAnne has been featured on CBS News Sunday Morning and NPR's Weekend All Things Considered. She lives in Pueblo, CO, with Hank, her Prince Charming, when she isn't on the road sharing her trove and lore with apronistas everywhere.
