On Sale Now: Wrapables, Crate & Barrel, YLighting

The Wrapables apron sale couldn't have come at a better time. Farmers' markets are overflowing with hearty, delicious fall vegetables, and I can't keep myself out of the kitchen.

I have a few aprons to choose from: one--a mustard yellow number with crimson poppies--that my grandmother sewed for me a few years back when I visited her in the Ukraine, and another, a quick, mediocre find at the 99 cent store. (Truth be told: I haven't used grandma's apron yet and the dollar one gets pulled out to serve as a dishtowel once in a while.) I'm not really an apron gal, but I wouldn't mind unleashing my inner Stepford wife and donning the sexy Jesse Steele Cream and Black Damask apron, which totally looks like a stylish dress in the front, thanks to the modern pattern. The cotton apron is marked down to $25.99 from $32.95, and comes in a red-and-white pattern as well as a pink-and-black pattern.

(Pssst, I also really like the $11.99 Retro Kitchen Mitts and Tea Towel set in "Cactus", but I'm loyal to my current mitts and will just wait 'till they wear out.)
