Dish towels

When I was little, I felt so bad for my mom when she got things like soap and tea towels for Christmas. How sad! I thought. But now that I'm a grown-up, I understand the appeal. Don't you love these dish towels from Tas-ka?

  37. Call me crazy, but when when I'm traveling I look for a dish towel as a souvenir. So far I have some from Paris + various cities in the US. Tried to get one in Tokyo but couldn't find any -- bummer! Did score a bento box tho. :)

  38. Ha! I totally know what you mean about thinking dish towels were lame presents for my mom. But now...I LOVE these. I especially love the little hook!

    ReplyDelete

  39. So funny, and so true. I thought the same thing when I was younger (and also thought a gift of underwear from my mom was quite disappointing at age 12. Now I'd be ecstatic with that as a present!)

  40. I totally agree, I'd take kitchen towels over barbie dream car any day ;)
