What kind of towel are you??

Who doesn't love a beautiful or cute tea towel??  I think that although they are a very small part of your kitchen decor, they can make an impact. 

I once went to a tea towel gift exchange.  I bought 2 really adorable towels to give and just kept my fingers crossed that I'd come home with 2 that were equally special.  Well 9 out of the 10 guests really went all out.  But one poor person went home with 2 towels that I probably wouldn't even use to wash my car - they were bought at the local Vons on her way to the party.

Are you a grocery store towel gal?  Or do you care just a little more about what your tea towel says about you??   Personally, I am drawn to beautiful tea towels.  

Well, I was just looking through the new HOME magazine and saw some really beautiful woven jacquard tea towels and it just inspired me...

find it here.

And then I found this one here.

But of course, you can always find the most unique of all at Etsy...

isn't this one cute?  You can find it here.  

This is hand screen printed and can be found here.

And finally, you can usually find some cute towels at Crate&Barrel - this is very sweet for spring.

Oh, and by the way, what is the difference between a dish towel and a tea towel? Can someone tell me??
