A Whole Lotta Tea Towels

Here's a peek at some of the colorful tea towels that I'll be listing in my Etsy shop this week.

Embellished with vibrant fruit and flower patterns that are sure to add vintage charm to any kitchen, these dish towels are from the 1940s and are in near mint condition.

Aren't they wonderful? And what's great about tea towels is that they don't have to only be used to dry the dishes. They make nice table runners. Or they can be transformed into charming and cheerful pillows. Plus, with the addition of rod clips, tea towels can become instant no-sew café curtains.

Easy peasy . . . and pretty, too!
