Your collection looks great. I never thought of taking photos and making a post: great idea!<br /><br />My English friend sends me tea towels almost every year. When I see them at a tourist site, I send her one as well. I use them all the time and so of course my favorites are wearing out, just like your mum.<br /><br />best... mae at maefood.blogspot.comMae Travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13328946930935633113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-76775516107759173092015-08-25T13:41:41.512+10:002015-08-25T13:41:41.512+10:00Wow - what a beautiful and completely unique colle...Wow - what a beautiful and completely unique collection!

I do have a few that are out of sight but most just get used - E's mum was so into her tea towels and used them all and told me that she had a beatles tea towel that just wore out - part of me was sad not to see it and part of me thought it was nice she enjoyed it.

I have some of my grandmother's old towels, though after reading about your tea towels I'm inspired to get my nice towels out and start a collection. I have a few vintage linen towels and hand embroidered but if I hang the 'good towels' on the oven for decoration I just know someone with dirty greasy fingers will use them to mop up blueberry juice or something awfully staining!Veganopouloushttp://www.veganopoulous.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-75300180794425333762015-08-06T03:27:07.288+10:002015-08-06T03:27:07.288+10:00Gosh, that is a good collection!
