Today I continued the raid of my linen closet.
I inherited two sets of embroidered dish towels. One set from each of my Grandmothers. One set shows a different bird for each day of the week and the other set show a different chicken and chore for each day of the week. (Okay, I'm partial to the chickens but I love both sets.)
There are 14 in all but I only had 4 available for photographs today. (Some are packed- we move a lot, and some are in the laundry)

I use them on a daily basis. They dry dishes, keep bread warm and serve as table art.
I plan to give each of my girls a hope chest. While I'm not ready to part with these towels yet, I do plan on embroidering a set of towels for each daughter. I can only hope they'll treasure the ones I make as much as I treasure the ones my grandmothers made.

Great linens. I love them.
Those are great! I would hate to use them but obviously, that's what they're there for! Cute! I like the chores on them.

Oooo! I love vintage linens--especially teatowels. I'm so glad you're using them! I love to use mine, too, the fabric is just wonderful!
Nothing works better in a kitchen then these towels! I love mine too. Thanks for sharing!

Darling tea towels! I remember my grandmother had something similar but I have no idea what happened to them.

I love these type of dishtowels. Nothing better. I did some of those with the day's of the week when I first got married.
Nice Show & Tell.

Homemade linens are cool and even better when you got them from your grandmothers.
