Tea Towels

noreply@blogger.com (Tricia) — Sun, 15 Feb 2015 02:05:00 +0000

My English grandmother always had stacks of tea towels, with maps of Yorkshire, Shakespearean sayings, campy Union Jack themes, a recipe. They were draped over the oven door handles, tucked in the refrigerator door pulls, on hooks behind the door. I tend to have stacks of white flour sack towels in the kitchen drawer for cooking, and keep these simple natural linen towels in a row on a Shaker peg rack in my kitchen. They are soft, washable, relaxed, perfect for today.
