The Reversible Apron^®

A Design All Her Own

Jeanne's vision was to create more than an ordinary kitchen apron. She wanted something beautiful, durable, comfortable, and versatile enough to wear for virtually any occasion.

Using her own original pattern, she developed a distinctive reversible apron featuring personalized designer themes, quality construction, machine-washable fabrics, a comfortable no-knot strap, and a flattering design that fits most sizes.

Her philosophy is wonderfully simple:

Whether worn as hostess attire for a themed evening, used in everyday cooking, or displayed as a decorative accent in the kitchen, each apron combines practicality with personality.

And because every apron is individually handmade, no two are exactly alike.

From Gifts of Love to a Growing Business

What began as thoughtful handmade gifts for friends and family soon became something much bigger.

Jeanne owned and operated two successful gift stores: Treasures from the Heart in Coronado, California, for 25 years, and Java Junction in La Mesa, California, for five years. For part of that time, she operated both businesses simultaneously.

It was in these stores that her distinctive aprons truly found their audience.

Customers were drawn to the colorful themes, thoughtful details, and originality of her designs. Word spread, special orders multiplied, and keeping the stores stocked became a challenge of its own.

Even while attending trade shows, Jeanne rarely stopped creating. After a busy day of business, she would return to her hotel room and spend the evening sewing several more aprons to keep up with demand back home.

Her creations also became popular with groups looking for something coordinated yet individually distinctive. From nurses wanting special office attire to volunteers serving in soup kitchens, Jeanne enjoyed designing aprons that reflected each person's personality while bringing the group together.

A Life Filled With Music, Family, and Faith

Jeanne's creativity extends far beyond the sewing machine.

An accomplished pianist, she has performed with orchestras and in musical productions. She and her family have traveled throughout the country for months at a time, sharing music and conducting special meetings in churches. Together, her family has produced six music albums.

She has also devoted 20 years to teaching kindergarten and giving piano lessons.

As a pastor's wife and inspirational speaker, Jeanne has spent much of her life encouraging others, while continuing to share her musical talents by playing weekly at her church.

Above all, Jeanne treasures her family. After many successful years in retail, she sold her businesses and retired to enjoy more time with her family, including her 18 grandchildren.

Creating Happiness, One Apron at a Time

Although Jeanne stepped away from operating her gift stores, her love for creating never faded.

The Reversible Apron allows her to continue doing something that brings her tremendous satisfaction: creating beautiful, one-of-a-kind gifts that make other people happy.

For Jeanne, the greatest reward isn't simply finishing another apron. It's knowing that something she lovingly designed and made will bring a smile to someone's face.

Every apron carries a little of her creativity, her attention to detail, and her love for others.
