Tea Towel(s) Tuesday

That's right, I have two vintage tea towels for your consideration today.

(I'm playing it safe and covering all bases)

They are both cute. Have a look and let me know which one you prefer.

Do you like:

Exhibit A


(this one's for all you crazy cat people out there)



of which (and I apologise for this) I'm not.

Or

Exhibit B


( this one's, you guessed it, my dog-gone favourite)



I actually like both tea towels really. They are both made of lovely Irish linen and their colours in the flesh are alot brighter than they appear in these pics. I know the doggy one dates from the 70's because I spoke to its old owner when I bought it (at a Swap Meet) and my guess is (evil) pussy cat does too.

Before I go walkies with our loyal hound, I just want to make a little disclaimer:

I like all animals. Apart from most birds (due to an unfortunate incident in a chook pen when I was a kid). And while I'm not fond of cats I don't really hate them, they're just not my cup of tea. o.k.

Now I feel better.

It's time to walk the dog. See ya x

p.s. thanks for all your interesting comments on my anal cleaning tendencies. Glad I'm not the only crazy Virgo (or otherwise) out there.

  10. Both a cat and dog person here, but that kitty doesn't look too happy there.
    They're both in great condition for their age.

  11. I like the both of them, I can't really decide (And I am a crazy dog lover)
    I once had a creepy insane cat... I think it was posessed. (NOT JOKING) The thing would JUMP on my neck in the middle of the night and dig it's claws around my throat & if thats not bad enough it also used to try and wrap around my neck. *freaks me out just remembering it* I really do think it was trying to murder me.

    But now I see cute cats over and over and over and I think I could try having one again at some point. A charcoal gray one with green eyes! =D

  12. Hey Kylie
    I think I'm with you on preferring the doggy design. We don't have either a dog or cat and I like both of them as a pet. My mum doesn't like cats so it kind of influenced me and my sister but as time has gone by I have learnt to like and appreciate them. Hope you have a fab rest of your week xox oh and ps.I love love love ladybird vintage books too,they are the bees knees x

  13. Hey Kylie, I am back in the land of the living. Dogs for me...cats freak me out.

  14. Oh Kylie, you're spoiling us with TWO lovely tts. I can't decide which is my favourite. I'm neither a cat nor dog freak. I'm more of a rabbit and rodent person myself. xx

  16. I'm also a cat person like Bungalowgirl who finds the cat one just a tad creepy. So for once I'm going with the cute and cuddly doggy! (Now in my case I never thought I would hear myself say that.)

  19. Yes, I'm definitely in the doggie camp! Partly as I'm more of a dog person but also - I really like the pale blue, it's a lovely shade :-)
