Vintage Tea Towel Tuesday

I got my hands on this beautiful t.towel only yesterday. A gift from my bloggy friend and mistress of modern macrame, Pippa (you might know her better as Ouchflower, although there is nothing prickly about her - she's more succulent than cactus)

Here it is:

All pure linen, made in Ireland by Lamont

(Samuel Lamont & Co have been manufacturing household textiles for over 200 years!)

There's no denying this is a gorgeous tea towel. It's got everything going for it and guzumped today's scheduled contender EASILY (poor thing didn't stand a chance when I layed my eyes on this beauty)

If I didn't think you'd think I was a total nut-job, I'd launch into a bit of Elizabeth Barrett Browning about now, but as much as I love this tea towel, I'm not going to count the ways...here are a few more pics instead:




Bellissima!

(Grazie Pippa x)

  9. It's a beaut - those fish really remind me of something, maybe a vintage pyrex pattern?
