Well, I had never been on a talk show before and was very excited to have been asked by the long time Gazette food critic Teresa Farney. "Tie One On" a multi-venue Manitou Springs event being held June 13, perked her interest. This event begins with a book signing at Black Cat Books with Ellynanne Geisel, an apron archeologist. safron will discuss the care and repair of aprons and vintage linens with a display of vintage aprons and linens for sale. Brunch at the Avenue Hotel B&B. Tickets are available at all three locations.
OOOps, back to the radio show Table Talk. Teresa Farney suggested food samples. I thoughtfully prepared my menu using recipes prepared by my Aunts,Grandmother and my Mom. I was inspired to use old family recipes by the thoughts of my mom in her aprons. I wear an apron every day hand made by Susan Feldman. I spent most of the night before the show fixing food. Fruit soup yum, Aunt Dorthy's croissant sandwich, a lovely strawberry feta salad, and oatmeal cake for desert. I was nervous all morning thinking of all the things I needed to have with me for the show. I prepared my dishes all set on my fine china and glassware. I totted my food into the show and meet my fellow guests.Teresa Farney was fun to work with, I enjoyed meeting Jake from Jake and Tellies in Old Colorado City, Martine Purdy of chevy lee raw foods joined us as well the the owner of the Curry Leaf. I was the first guest and had to explain the event and show off my food. Ienjoyed the experience!

Tie One On—An Apron, Of Course!
You are Invited to Tie One On—An Apron, Of Course!
On Sunday, June 13
You are invited to a Manitou Springs-based multi-venue event features a book signing, apron-inspired vintage memories and Sunday brunch.
Tickets are $30
On Sunday, June 13, EllynAnne Geisel will be in Manitou Springs for the Tie One On event---an afternoon of aprons---at safron of manitou springs, Black Cat Books and The Avenue Hotel B and B.
It’s a seemingly mundane object, but one that can trigger recollections of family gatherings, motherly comfort and an era of domesticity long gone by. Vintage and vintage-style aprons, long associated with hearth and home, have once again become popular, both with collectors and as a must-have kitchen accessory. While writing an article on them, essayist and apron archeologist EllynAnne Geisel realized the connection these and other vintage linens have for us, woven, as they are, in the very fabrics of our lives and memories.
The event will begin with a meet-and-greet for Geisel at safron of manitou springs, where vintage and vintage-inspired aprons will be on display and on sale. Geisel will discuss her forays into apron archeology. The group will then move to Black Cat Books for a book signing with the author and then to The Avenue Hotel B&B for brunch on the lawn.
A limited number of tickets are available for the event, and reservations will be taken on a first-come-first-served basis. Tickets are $30 per person and may be purchased at safron, Black Cat Books and The Avenue Hotel. For more information or to purchase a ticket, contact any of the venues: safron (685-5153), Black Cat Books (685-1589) or The Avenue Hotel (685-1277).
