Tea Time & Towels

I have a bit of an obsession with antique tea towels. As a kid, my mom always used these old, thin linen towels to dry our dishes on. We had thicker, newer towels to dry our hands, but my favorite towels were the worn-out tea towels that lined the countertops daily.

Although I now have a dish washer & a drying rack in my home, I still love the look & feel of vintage or reproduction tea towels. Here are some stunning examples of the kind of gems I wouldn't mind stacked up in my kitchen.
