Vintage Tea Towel Tuesday (and a little give-away)

There's no forgetting what this gorgeous 70's number was made for...


Subtlety is not its strong point. Why waste time pussy-footing around?

I really like it, do you?  I would hang it in my kitchen, above the sink if I didn't have hundreds of other worthy candidates clamouring for wall space.

 (and if I thought certain girlies of the teenage variety would read it and obey  oblige!)

If you'd like to funk up your kitchen and (hopefully) send a message to the errant dryer-upperers in your life, just drop me a note in the comments and it's yours.

(more than one of you and I'll pick a winner randomly next Tuesday 13 November)

p.s. I always include a few extra vintagey surprises in my give-aways...just saying...

p.p.s speaking of give-aways, check this one out.

  2. Thats brilliant. If it said boys take your dishes downstairs (that have been there for days )out of your room and wash them and and dry them it would be even better ;-)) dee x

  3. Hya Ms Hostess with the Mostess (!). I love it! And I'm just laughing at Dee's comment. What is it with teens and pre-teens and their festering dishes and empty yoghurt pots secreted under the bed? Aargh! xx

  6. frequently heard from me to the various males in my houselhold:

    "What did your last slave die of"

    "Just because I'm the only one with ovaries here, doesn't mean I'm a domestic goddess"

    "when you move out, I'm coming over to your place to use every cup and mug you own"

    Number two son has told me he's taking all my northern English tea towels when he goes. Evil, evil child.

  8. A work of art, it is the most cheerful-looking t-towel ever, and brown!
    It would look great framed, hope whoever scores it will display it.

  9. Its lovely - the colours are fab and still look so bright and new. I can't believe how you manage to find them!

  10. It's fab! I'll selfishly add myself to the pot even though I have been the lucky recipient of several lovely tea-towels from you already.

  14. Fantastic towel - one of the nicest ones ever. Love that font. Pop me in the drawing pot please. Ta. :)

  15. Love that t-t! I agree with knitgirl, I need one which encourages a little less crashing and bashing of plates and glasses... no wonder half our crockery is chipped!
    PS. Posted Owly on my blog - he's GORGEOUS! xxxxx

  16. It's great and certainly something that needs constantly addressing around these parts......who could argue with that hanging in their faces. xxx

  17. well, there's gonna be only plain air above my sink, like in the middle of the room, so i'd have to turn the head left or right, which would be interesting gymnastics, while washing up. still, i don't half like the towel!

    those cupboards coming home and chitchatting away... my wish things are coming to an accomplishment state. well, of sorts, they are, but i need to remain pretty flexible in that same head. also in that head, reorganizing (already) our home style here, pulling, pushing, shoving, trying to get as much i can inside cupboards, to then start on concrete and plaster...
    honestly? honestly...!
    ;)))

    and so now, you're right in the thick of it, are you, over at yours? dust & co? i hope not. .. wishing you courage, mon amie, as usual. take it from the belgian detective...

  18. Late to this too! Well where have I been? Lounging around exhausted after the retro cook-off? Or exhausted from cropping 500 house photos. Not sure. I will enter the next tea towel give-way. Maybe you'll do a holiday towel?
