- No ordinary kitchen towels... ☺
Hope you all had a really great weekend!
Monday morning is here and the sun seems to be hiding a bit...
My favourite tea towels,
all with family monograms and initials.
So much history... ♥
Does anyone make the effort to create beautiful embroidery like this nowadays?
Have a happy week everyone!

Hi Pernilla! Oh, I love these sweet little tea towels and love it that they have your family initials on them. That's a great way to display them.

Hellooo Sweden in Australia
ReplyDeleteI reckon I would be inspired to do the drying up with these tea towels - How wonderful.
This is a slightly off the wall comment but I hope you are cheering on those very cute Swedish boys JTO in the X factor!!!
Happy Blue Monday

I've had towels like these blue ones, Pernilla.

Your towels turned out very pretty! I detest needle work like that, but I have some really neat ones that my great gran did before she passed away.
ReplyDeleteI'm visiting from Katherine's Corner!
I love these tea towels, I admire the time it takes someone to do such beautiful work. I think personalized towels make wonderful gifts. Thank you for visiting my blog and taking time to leave a comment on Isabelle's colourful house.

ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful! I don't know if anyone makes them any more but I'd love to find some. :)
ReplyDeleteThere are people around here in the Southern US that still make embroidered tea towels for bridal presents. Love the red and white.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!
ReplyDeleteLove your collection. I have been wanting to add some initials to my red and white tea towels for years. You've inspired me to get a move on! LOL.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely collection, I love old linens!

Pernilla, I love the red & white tea towels! This is my favourite colour combo for the kitchen with a touch of apple green of course. Very nice vinatge towels! Thanks for sharing at my HOME.

My favorites Pernilla, red and cream! I love any towels with stripes. I do still embroider on towels now and then. But I feel it is becoming a lost art. Thanks for sharing with SYC.

Hi Jann,
DeleteDo you use a special embroidery thread to keep it from being washed & bleached out??
These are beautiful! Thank you for joining HSH!
ReplyDeleteSherry
I love your beautiful towels and the embroidered initials, but how do you keep the initials from being bleached out when washed???
ReplyDeleteThese towels have been washed over and over again during the years as they are over 70 years, but since I got them I only use them as a display in my kitchen. If I would wash them, I'd use a non-bleach washing liquid. :)
