Vintage Tea Towels


I have two vintage tea towels (100% linen - need to be ironed) that I LOVE, LIKE THEY'RE A HIGH FIVE...but I have no idea how to decorate with them, or use them1, or where to put them.  I bought them at a Christmas rummage sale when I was 24 or 25...any ideas? 

1. we used them as 'singing aids' at one Christmas office dessert party I co-hosted at my apartment, ohhh so long ago...when I was the youngest...and everyone said "you won't always be the youngest, remember that!"...but at that time, I thought I would always be the youngest...

  1. Shannon those are gorgeous! I would totally frame them! They would look beautiful with a thin gold or brass frame... focus should definitely be on the towels... not the frame!

  2. I agree with Kerry. Frame them. They are too precious to use.

  3. Love tea towels. I can't get enough. Frame them, turn them into pillows, or actually use them in your kitchen :)
