Join Melissa and Susie as they welcome their first official guest to the Knitty Gritty Podcast!

April Cornell is an artist and entrepreneur, whose inspired designs lie at the heart of what she does. Born in Montreal, Canada to parents from Nova Scotia, she is one of four children. April is the proud mother of three sons (and two granddaughters!) who currently lives in Burlington, Vermont on the cozy shores of Lake Champlain.

April's wondrous blend of romantic florals and bohemian style can be traced to the places she loves most - from the alluring region of Provence to dusty fabric markets in New Delhi, from the winding alleys of Portugal to the coast of California.

Her journey has led her to the bazaars of Istanbul and through the barren beauty of the Afghan Mountains, revealing beauty around every corner. April's legacy and one-of-a-kind vision continue to guide the company to this day- she is still hard at work and is as dedicated as ever to pursuing beauty in the everyday.

In this episode:

• Learn more about April's own journey as an artist, mother, grandmother, and entrepreneur 
• Hear more details about Modern Prairie's upcoming collection with April launching on March 13! 
• How Melissa, Susie, and April would protect themselves from Michael Myers, you know if they had to

Have you ever heard of the five love languages? You know, the ones that explain how we give and receive love to others? Well, what if we applied those same love languages to the way we show love to ourselves? Mind blown!

Get ready to learn about the importance of self-love, self-compassion, and self-care. And hey, while you're at it, why not give without expecting anything in return? It's a win-win.

Don't miss out on the hilarious Knotty Topics of this week. Melissa and Susie will be answering questions from all of you, and trust us, you won't want to miss it. So grab your popcorn and join us for a good laugh and some serious self-love talk.

Are you ready to get down to the knitty gritty? Join our hosts Melissa Gilbert and Susie Shubert as they discuss the challenges of aging gratefully.

Melissa and Susie want to create an open space for women in their "third phase of life", because sometimes society pigeonholes us into either being the "cute little old ladies" or "mean Mrs. Gulch." Women are just so much more than that and it is time to talk about it!

Listen to this episode to hear: 

• How they are creating a community where they can share stories and experiences with one another, as well as talk about how embracing change and curiosity is vital for staying youthful and vibrant
• What topics are in store for this podcast such as menopause, grandchildren (which Melissa has eight!), and all that comes with aging, especially the good, the bad, and the ugly 
•  About the fun new segments like Two Truths and a Lie, Prairie Style
• And even all about the future guests that might be on the show!
