On Dish Towels...
I have issues with dish towels.
See, the cute ones rarely seem to be functional. And so, I have a stockpile of mediocre but cute-ish towels. Check out these little gems on the bottom though...
They're from Target for like $6 for 2 (I think). They look so cute with the fox tea towel Jesse got me for Christmas (from Anthropologie)! They're for Valentine's Day, but the colors work well enough, that I think I'll be stocking up & using them year round. I bought some uber-Valentine's ones from Target last year that are VERY absorbent- but I always feel silly using them year round. These might not look as chic as higher-end towels, but IMHO they're perfect because they actually dry dishes but don't look nasty hanging in plain sight!
I know I'm not the only one plagued by this. Does anyone else have any suggestions for cute and functional dish towels??

Kevin's mom hand sewed little kitchen girls on those plain white dish towels (one for each day of the week) as a wedding gift for us. They are colorful and cute!!! And since they're out of that thinner classic cotton material they dry dishes amazing. You could just buy some of those super cheap and decorate them any way you want.
This is such a fantastic way to brighten and cute up the kitchen! I'm going to have to keep my eyes peeled for these! Thanks for sharing :)
Oooh, those are cute!
My dish towel just isn't visible...
I like Rebecca's idea. But you could even sew like rick rack ribbon to decorate the towels. And then you can customize to match your kitchen or the season.
Becca that sounds so lovely!! I must say though, I'm too scared to take the time to invest in our dish towels- they take a beating sometimes!! I tend to dry a lot of them by hand & after seeing the beating ours take, I'm scared to do anything too cute- lest they turn into pure decoration (like that fox tea towel above lol) :)
Do you have a pic of the ones your MIL made for you?? I'd LOVE to see them! Maybe they'd inspire me ;)
