fear not, sweeties!

we may be the giddy new owners of a dishwasher, but my obsessive love of a gorgeous tea towel will never wane! :)

as you might know, i obsessively collective beautiful vintage tea towel calendars, especially ones by the fabulous designer vera neumann, and i've been long-smitten with the incredible art in the beauty of a well designed tea towel!

i'll never forget you, sweet towels!

thought you might love some of these gorgeous handmade / hand designed towels. 

have a favourite tea towel at your home?

{and yay ... thanks for all of your fun chiming in about the new dishwasher! 
1st run tonight! wooohoo!}
