Funktion Apron Set — Giveaway-A-Day 12/6


Find the winner for yesterday's Giveaway at the bottom of this post.
____________


Have you ever walked into a friend's kitchen and seen a super cute apron hanging up and thought that is so cute why don't I own a super cute apron because then kitchen work would be about 10 times as wonderful? Well today's Giveaway winner is double-lucky-ducky because she is about to be the proud owner of a TOTALLY HIP MOM AND DAUGHTER SET OF APRONS FROM FUNKTION!!!




Too cute to exist! The Julie apron for Mom. The matching Julie apron for Daughter. With these fine lovelies the cookies will practially bake themselves. Oh my. So many pretty things at Funktion. I like the way they think — husband and wife team, Dave and Tara know what's what. Great textiles. Pretty colors. Just the right mix of patterns.

May I suggest the following:



Get the job done in such a pretty way with these dishtowels.


Super-special hampers — perfect with that vintage vibe you've got going in your little girl's room.



As I mentioned before, a pretty fabulous selection of aprons.


Even sugar-sweet baby blankets.


But what I really, really love is the fringed peony hammock. Oh man. Oh man.

Having seen their fine wares in person, I have to say the photos do not do justice. Everything about their products is fresh and bright and spot on delightful. Have fun shopping, ladies — their stuff is hard to resist.

Thank you, Funktion!
