Vintage Tea Towel Tuesday

Here's today's tea towel, it's one of my new favourites

Lamont tea towel, made in Ireland, all pure linen (durr! it's Irish) and fast colours.

I reckon Frank Sinatra was on the money when he said:

"orange is the happiest colour."

Don't you?

p.s. btw, Frankie also said:

" alcohol may be man's worst enemy, but the bible says love your enemy"

hmmmm...not so sure about this one, but his comment on orange was definetely on the money. It is an exciting and beautiful colour.

Longue vie a`l'orangeie!

    Orange is a brilliant colour - so full of joy and life! Got to love Irish linen too - washes so well and seems to last forever!

    Orange is a happiness inducing colour. I'm inclined to agree with the alcohol comment too, but, those damn hangovers!

    I think 'ol Blue Eyes may have been onto something on both counts actually...I like orange a lot. And I'm glad Lent is over at last!

    Thanks for the lovely comment Kylie! I am still in Vietnam and am yet to send your package, it may be a couple of weeks due to uni commitments when I get back but I can assure you it's a work in progress and will get to you in the not-too-distant future!
