Tea towels, anyone?

A while back, I mentioned to the lovely Australian Kylie at Lucy Violet Vintage that I know very little about her native land. Not long after, she sent me a surprise all the way from Perth...a beautiful vintage tea towel from 1980 with a wonderfully illustrated map that gave me a crash course on the country. Need to know where Ayers Rock is located? I know. Planning to do a little surfing? I can give you a tip.

Kylie has an extensive tea towel collection, so shortly after she sent me that one, she had a giveaway on her blog, and I won another one...this time, the most gorgeous floral design I've ever seen. I could hardly wait to receive it!

But, inexplicably, the tea towel didn't arrive when expected. So I waited. And waited. Finally, after weeks, it came in the mail yesterday. As I told Kylie, I guess some faceless bureaucrat decided that she wasn't trying to send me contraband and that my tea towel wasn't any threat to national security, so after encasing it in plastic and the writing, stamping and stickering all kinds of messages on the outside, he sent it on its way to Texas.

I've been waiting impatiently to show them both to you in one post. So, without further ado, feast your eyes on my two beautiful tea towels, courtesy of my sweet blogging friend.


Need to know anything about Australia? Just ask me!

Is this not the most gorgeous floral you've ever seen?

Thanks so much, Kylie! I appreciate your generosity and thoughtfulness more than you know.
