Starting the week off in vintage dish towel style
Posted: August 10, 2014 Filed under: Fun Finds | Tags: vintage dish towels, vintage embroidery 4 CommentsI’m really thankful I have a dishwasher, but I’ll be darned if I didn’t fall hard for a full week of embroidered cotton dish towels. I couldn’t resist grabbing them up–they’d never been used. The cross stitched days of the week aren’t terribly attractive, but that’s not all they’ve got going for them.
Each towel has a colorful daily reminder to eat your veggies. Fresh, not canned!
So much work was put into these, and then they were tucked away.

Wish I had some red peppers to roast. They’re so awesome on slices of Italian bread. Is your mouth watering yet?
Did the recipient think they were “too good” to use just for every day?
I would have a hard time using these for drying dishes, too. I couldn’t bear tossing them in the washer and ruining their crispy newness.
Wouldn’t they be cute displayed, though?
Just picture them hanging in your kitchen! No kidding!

My grandmother used to make a delicious soup with green beans and sour cream. I’m going to have to try that again soon!
You might just get the chance to own them–they’re headed to The Vintage Bazaar with me in September. It’s only a few weekends away!
Oh, those are ADORABLE with the green stripey sides!
And I would love to have scans of the embroidery, because they would be fun and manageable cross-stitch projects for my kids’ class. 🙂
That’s a great idea! I’ll take ’em to work with me tomorrow. Nothing like making PDFs of kitchen towels on a photocopier…
