Mine aren't memories of places so much as covered in kitties and cows :D I don't use them to dry dishes either but we always have at least 3 on the bench. They get used for drying hands and wiping up little messes. I'm kind of obsessive about washing them so they're lucky if they last out the day before heading for the wash basket.<br /><br />I love your collection! So many great tea towels!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01418079315150652057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-88917682899621358792009-06-09T16:01:44.731+10:002009-06-09T16:01:44.731+10:00I have a t-shirt of the cake stall tea towel, and ...I have a t-shirt of the cake stall tea towel, and I love the sentiment too!

The best one I've seen is a big cartoon of a cricket match with all the fielding positions marked.

I try to buy a plate as a souvenir when I travel, just picked up one from Fauchon in Paris. But doesn't a tea towel make more sense from a packing standpoint? Great idea.<br /><br />I'm lovin' the dog collar towel!<br />Please stop by Taste With The Eyes later tonight for the MLLA 11th Edition Round-up, and thank you so much for participating!<br />Lori LynnLori Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07618373287712454892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-59421632547794492922009-06-08T00:04:33.668+10:002009-06-08T00:04:33.668+10:00Great post Johanna!
