Everyone should know my talented friend, Renee of Kudos Kitchen Paints. She has a food blog too, Kudos Kitchen by Renee – she is one busy lady and she is a member of The Cookbook Junkies!
Because I love Renee’s quality work, Kudos Kitchen Paints is my exclusive licensee authorized to work with my federally registered trademark, The Cookbook Junkies.
For book lovers, we decided we needed to offer a book tote – this little bag has a zippered closure so our cookbook purchases are safe. The totes come in black or white as do the aprons.
If you wish to order a coffee cup, wine glass or any of Renee’s painted items with The Cookbook Junkies logo — please do. You can contact Renee through her shop or via her email at info@kudoskitchenbyrenee.com.
The aprons are $45 and the book totes are $25. Orders typically take 2 to 3 weeks to fill and shipping and handling are extra. Renee will ship out of the country, if needed. Renee uses high-quality fabrics so you will be receiving an item that will stand up in your kitchen. My apron has seen a good deal of use and looks new after a few washes.
To celebrate this launch – I am offering a giveaway of a black version of the book tote that Renee sent me. To enter this giveaway, visit Renee’s shop on Etsy and leave a comment here telling me what your favorite item would be. Sharing this post is very much appreciated and counts as a second entry. The giveaway is open to U.S. addresses only and a random winner will be chosen on August 3rd. You may return daily to enter this giveaway. (I will be sure to send your book tote to you with a surprise inside! I wonder what that will be?) Good luck.
Random Number Generator picked Ashley Grace’s comment #72 – congratulations Ashley.
Karen Bailey says
I am not sure which would be my favorite, I love both the tote AND apron! But since I almost always wear an apron because I’m a messy cook, I’d probably chose that one!
Tanya says
Cooking with wine qoute apron is perfect for me 🙂
Mildred Broselow says
I love this idea! Adore both aprons and totes And, even if I don’t win , or if I do, will be ordering aprons for myself and daughter. Thank you Jenny!

Robin Chesser says
I’ torn between the Beatles handprinted wine glass and the I Love Toast Hand Towel. Both have a special meaning to me, The Beatles because my children’s father was a collector and archivist of Beatles memorabilia, the I Love Toast because toast holds a dear place in my heart for my Grandmother.
Robin Chesser says
I shared on Facebook.
Jim Huff says
The apron is total necessity–have so many stained polo shirts to prove that I don’t wear one enuf! The tote on the other hand…could be awesome for schlepping cookbooks to read on weekends @ the park with charming Charlie the 3year old grandson!
Julie Richardson says
I love them both!! The apron I can use though.
Adele Walker says

The ruby red slippers coffee mug…not because I can drink coffee anymore-but for my daughter’s upcoming anniversary. She wore ruby red slippers under her dress in her garden wedding at the art museum. I wonder if they still fit?

So wish I had known about Renee’s work a month ago. The book lover glass would have been a perfect gift a retiring librarian!
For myself it is a toss-up between the crockpot queen or baker’s aprons. Both fit what kind of cooking I do.
