Do you love tea towels? One of my favorite bloggers, Irene Hoofs from Bloesem, recently wrote about To Dry For and I really like this brand and the variety of options that they stock from designers worldwide. If you are obsessed with tea towels like I am, this is the shop for you.

Lots of us see tea towels popping up all over these days and you may wonder, “How many tea towels does one need!!!?” and for good reason – there is a limit. BUT it’s all about thinking outside of the box. Irene at Bloesem uses hers to make pillows. Some frame them as you would a poster. Others use them to wrap wine bottles and gifts. There are so many uses for tea towels if you simply view them as a piece of fabric. Get creative! Turn them into something wonderful for your home — you don’t have to simply dry your dishes with these beauties!

Have you ever used a tea towel for something outside of its intended purpose? If so, please share!

    I’ve used a t-towel as a little curtain. I just folded it over the mini-blind rod. It was very cute!

  6. How exciting. I had no idea tea towels could be so inspirational.
    You could actually frame them and use as art work in the kitchen!!
