cute tea towels




i am a huge fan of unique tea towels. a tea towel is the British version of the American dish towel. for some reason the tea towel is much cuter and more decorative. i think they are a great idea for a housewarming gift. LOVE these by Mr. PS!

from Wikepedia
A tea towel is a cloth which is used to dry dishes, cutlery, etc., after they have been washed. In 18th century England, a tea towel was a special linen drying cloth used by the mistress of the house to dry her precious and expensive china tea things. Servants were considered too ham-fisted to be trusted with such a delicate job, although housemaids were charged with hand-hemming the woven linen when their main duties were completed. Tea towels have been mass-produced since the Industrial Revolution.
