Vintage Tea Towel Tuesday

As much as I love kitschy souvenir tea towels

(and I do love them. Alot. In fact, they make up the bulk of my vintage tea towel collection)

they are not my most favoutite tea towel genre (ooh! fancy!) My favourite tea towels look alot like this one:

100% cotton, fast colours, Made in China

pretty, but not too pretty, if you know what I mean...


need I say more?

    I'm with you Em.
    I love these type of tea towels too. The cushion I made and sent to Lea is the same type of tea towels I think- http://weliketomakestuff.blogspot.com.au/2012/02/happy-mailhappy-me.html

    I found some gorgeous tea towels on our recent holiday. Vintage but never used but prices were a bit high. Very similar style to this one. Damn those prices! Lol. The new shop looks great, love the pics and can't wait to see what you are selling!

    Its beautiful. The shop looks good so far. I like how you included a little preamble and I like how you liken it to a 'pop-up' shop- makes sense!

    Pink and grey is absolutely a winner! I like the pretty but not overly pretty type of tea-towel, I've got a tea towel post coming up this week so I'm taking a leaf out of your book m'dear!

    Will pop along and take a peek at the exciting shop right now! I just set up mine a couple of weeks ago and it's a bit daunting being a newbie isn't it!?

    Amazing how the humble tea-towel can have us so transfixed! I'm seeing the most exciting designer ones in all the home mags too - esp Real Living (LURVE this magazine!) also guess what? Found another Ladybird book... Snow White & Rose Red! Sigh... Sweet vintage dreams! Have a great weekend!! Xx
