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?

I love getting things for the house ever since I live alone, whether it’s as gifts or I get them myself. It’s just so much fun.
I totally agree, I’d take kitchen towels over barbie dream car any day ;)
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!)
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!
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. :)
i found myself in the kitchen section of anthropologie this weekend perusing the tea towels… and i thought, is this what it’s like to be a grown up?
Gorgeous. I had some pretty once too until I got married and he used them to mop up spills. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I love a cute dish towel. Must be age and having a place of my own.
Anything new to spruce up the kitchen is always welcome. It gives me the chance to toss out something tattered. These are lovely.
If I would get these I would surely clean my kitchen.
You probably get a ton of these but just to let you know how much I love your blog too, I passed on a Lovely Blog Award to you!

Jo,

They reminded me of the cats on Smitten that you recently posted. Hope you like them (p.s. taken in the garden of my house in Totnes, Devon)
I always say you know you’re a grown-up when you get excited about receiving towels and sheets for Christmas!
so cute! i love it when something that seemed kinda boring becomes fun too. like vacuums! (dyson, i love you.)
Who says a tea towel needs to be drab. Great designs!!!
These are gorgeous…I’ve given you a Lovely Blog Award by the way!

So pretty!! I would be scared for them to get dirty though, with a six year old I go through things like these very quickly.
I totally agree – my mom just got the most gorgeous flower pot for her birthday and I’m so jealous!
I also love fun things like aprons and dish towels!

This post really rang true for me. When I recently spied the gorgeous Mozi teatowels I thought the same thing. Funny how things go around isn’t it? (If you are interested, the Mozi range is fantastic: see http://www.mozi.com.au .)
love them! i need new ones!
it’s funny how you change as you grow up- don’t get me wrong I still love a good coloring book for christmas but I was pretty excited this christmas when I got a sweet blender/food processor. hehe
Tea towels have changed alot since then. These are adorable.
I love love love these. My favorite place to buy dishtowels is Sur la Table…I go to the one in SoHo whenever I can just to look at all the wonderful things in there. Oh and I love Fishes Eddy. They have great ones there too…and great everything else!
:)
Oh so cute! I love the pink, not sure if it would stand up to my kitchen though…
too funny. Now I get all excited with a pretty dish towel too. Oh, how things change.
Love the pink set-so dainty and fun! I’m starting to appreciate things like this much more now that I’m getting older and moving into my first house with friends later this summer :)
Yes, and I love getting clothes and soap for Christmas!
Haha, I totally know what you mean! Oh, everything on that site is too lovely!
They’re such beautiful dish towels. I would felt bad using it.
I love these, they are so homey and pretty.
OH yes! Yet now, I search fruitlessly for JUST the right dish towels.
Now, there’s no way to make the sweat socks my Dad would get from my Grandma a better gift….
Love that cute pink one on the left! What is it about pretty linens that’s so great???
yes I do!!
haha! it’s so true. I used to wonder why anyone would smile after opening a present and seeing yarn. now, i totally understand!
How cute are the egg bowls & the soup cups??!
I am in love with this site! I think my favorite things were the potholders. So cute! I am quite excited for having my own home someday, just so I can decorate it all pretty :)
That is so true! I always thought what my mom got for Christmas was so practical and boring, but it definitely makes sense now :)
DELICIOUS. I love the cutting board shaped like a house! The kitchen stuff will go perfect in my apple green kitchen :)
Lovely fabrics!!!
Congrats!!! :)
Oh! I love the books section on that site! I think I want to buy “This is London” for my niece!
More to Love
