Cather Domestics Collection in the Bookstore

The childhood home of Willa Cather is located in Red Cloud, Nebraska. It can be toured every day of the week including Sundays. The Cathers would have used their best China on Sunday, of course. And they would have put on their Sunday best clothing. Here our merchandise is pictured within the Cather home. Take a tour right now. Our Domestics Store can provide you with everyday items and the Sunday best. Step back in time with these practical and durable items.

	Aprons are Jan’s specialty. She can even remember when her mother wore that special apron on Sunday for company. Each of Jan’s apron designs are different, just like it was back when she was a child. The individual fabrics are matched with contrasting trim or lace. If you want to special order an apron, just let us know.
	The Sunday apron here is draped over the children’s high chair in the Cather’s dining room. It is hand-made by Jan in a red and white Gingham with lace trim. Simple in design with adjustable ties, one size fits all. This cotton apron comes in red or blue Gingham or multi-patterned print fabric. Completely washable, it sells for only ~~$23.00~~ NOW $12.00
	Jan’s everyday apron design rests on the cook stove in the Cather kitchen. This hand-made apron comes in a host of multi-colored cotton mini-prints with contrasting trim. Order in hues of blue, red, or gold. Again, one size fits all. Included is a matching set of 2 hot pads. Step back in time with this practical apron and hot pads for only ~~$25.00~~ NOW $15.00
	Priscilla is one of the tour guides you’ll meet at the Cather Foundation. She is meticulous about everything she does. That’s why she is in charge of the Cather Foundation Scrap Book. But her reputation stretches far and wide for the fine hand-made dish cloths and hot pads she makes, one at a time.
	"They last forever," say the lucky ones who have these sets. Coming in variegated colors, you will love the dish cloth and hot pad, too. At $6.00 per set, they are a bargain!
	Cather Signature Towels: Maybe you are old enough to remember the flour sacks your grandmother made into dish towels. They are extremely durable and practical towels. These 100% cotton sack cloth towels cost $5.00 each and come with a hand-embroidered Cather signature. Style and design may vary.
