Tea, dish,kitchen towels

Well Thursday is still with us for a little while longer. They are celebrating Vintage Thingies Thursday over at Suzanne's--ColoradoLady. I've seen bears, blenders, pants and pots! More to see but I must get my post up! When is a towel a 'tea' towel? And what is the difference between a dish towel and a kitchen towel? You're not going to find the answer here but I have some vintage towels no matter what they have dried. This is a cotton. I love red but red ivy? Two calendar towels and one with vegetable decor. These are linen. I have three newer (?) cotton towels that commemorate Wales and Scotland And here is a Rhode Island commemorative linen. There's two for Christmas in linen. Identical. Someone sewed them together for a runner. Happy VTT!

Winner's Circle and Rednesday

Be sure to visit the Rednesday participants at It's a Very Cherry World. It's not Wednesay , it's REDnesday! Over at Anything Goes Here I won a lovely red plaid towel. Joan sent it prettily wrapped with a striped red bow and a collection of Bingo cards. Thanks Joan! Don't you just love her tag? Precious! I thought the towel might like some friends so I paired it with a plate and a embroidered doily. Here's another shot of the towel. And one with a couple of friends. Don't you think it's in the right family? Here is a really old friend. Mr. Potato head playing a horn! His towel does have a red stripe on the sides. Hope you enjoy all the red today. I'm still having a party. Here is today's giveaway. Winners will be drawn on Friday for all interested commentators. I'll send 2 people a selection of yarns to be used in crazy quilting or other craft. Some where near a yard or two of each. :)
