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.
The Cookbook Junkies apron that Renee made for me last year!
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.
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!
Cooking with wine qoute apron is perfect for me
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!
LOVE the totes! I favorited the item and the page. So glad you now have merch, Jenny!
Could really use the tote!
I love the Junkie items but I really think I also need that apron: All you knead is love!!!!
I just ordered a personalized apron so I would love the tote!
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.
I shared on Facebook.
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!
I love them both!! The apron I can use though.
I would love the tote! I checked out her website and will be going back to see what the biscuit book is about.
So many cute things on her site, but as an avid shopper of books of all kinds, I love the black tote best!
I love the black tote. Very eye catching.
Oh, def. The cookbook junkie apron or tote. Just cuz it’s junkie stuff!! She does some pretty amazing work! Shared in my FB page!
Ohhhh, the Nightmare Before Christmas Apron is amazing. So is the bacon one lol. Great idea on the zipper for the Cookbook Junkies tote!
The Baking Therapy apron is adorable. Love Renee’s whole shop.
I really like the Nightmare Before Christmas Apron for my daughter, she is crazy about that movie!
I shared on Twitter here is the link: https://twitter.com/susanelaineb1/status/753327716712218626
The Julia Child Quote Apron is adorable.
I also shared on Facebook and Twitter.
I love the Julia Child quote apron. But I intend to order from this site!
I love the Cooking With Wine Quote Hand Painted Apron.
I love Renee’s tea towels. She has done a couple of projects for me. Love, love, love them!
I like both the book totes and the apron. But the fun wine glass I thought was really cute was the I Dream of Genie.
I love the apron! It’s so useful and looks great!
Wonder Woman glass
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?
I love the tote best! And what better way to advertise The Cookbook Junkies site than to use it while shopping?!
Renee does such great work!
Love that apron!!! and the tote….sorry…they are equally cool!
Hopeful entry
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.
The I Dream of Jeannie Wine Glass – so cute.
I shared on Facebook.
The book tote looks great – gotta keep the precious cargo safe
My fave is the how to get away with murder glass.
Besides The Cookbook Junkies book tote? Either the Under the Sea pitcher or the Fruit and Veggie Smoothie Glass.
I shared on my Facebook page.
Happy Monday!
My superhero grandson needs the Batman wine glass.
Hi for today!
I saw the photo you posted of all the extra orders coming from Cookbook Junkies. That’s fantastic for her!

Sunday Funday!
I love the Rub A Dub Dog Hand Painted Dog Bath Apron it’s really sweet!
I like the wine glasses.
Hope to win!

Fingers AND toes crossed!
Fingers, toes and eyes crossed!
Maybe a book in the tote
Fingers, toes, eyes, AND arms crossed (makes it hard to type)!
Definitely the apron because I don’t own one :’)
Hope your Saturday was great!

Super hero glasses
Would love either the apron or tote in black. Love them, thanks Jenny!

Fingers crossed for tomorrow
Renee’s artwork is fantastic. Besides the Cookbook Junkies items, two other aprons caught my eye – the baking therapy one and the bread bakers one.
the tote is perfect for my trips to the used bookstore or library
One last entry before Aug 1!
Would love the apron!

The apron! Can never ever have too many aprons.
Didn’t realize Renee is from Bartlett, Illinois….I lived there for 20 years! That apron is great.
Hi
Love the apron and the super girl mug.
Apron is very cool!
Yay, more time to enter!
The book tote is great. I’m always hauling books to friend’s houses to share recipes from them or to bake from them… yes, I’m a hardcore baker!
I love the Baking Therapy apron and the Under the Sea pitcher. However, with two 9-week old puppies in the house that love to go out and run in the mud, I think the Rub-a-Dog apron could be my new best friend!
The cookbook junkies apron and tote are my favorites!
The black cookbook junkies apron. It’s very snazzy
Yep this is the winning entry lol
Everything she does is fantastic, but my faves are the popcorn bowl and the toast tea towel.
Why not make your everyday things beautiful and smile-worthy???
Is there a cleavage option for the apron?! Hehehehe hmmmm probably the tote actually because I’m always lugging stuff around now.
Sally glass!!!!! I love Halloween!!!!!
