After mugs, knick-knacks, cats and dogs - tell us about your teatowels

I've done the cutlery drawer, Chewbacca!

Off to check tea towels on Ebay

<everyone rushes to their kitchens to check on their tea towel collection> ££££££???

I look at linen tea towels on eBay and some of the designs are worth a lot of money. There's a Beatles one for £50 and last week one special design was priced at £140.

Admiring tea towels Callistemon? Time hanging heavy?

I might count my spoon drawer tomorrow. Or I might save that for a quiete day!

Mine are pristine Pikachu!

I might get them all out tomorrow and admire them
Just for something to do

Loads of tea towels, some very pretty given as gifts from holidays and some just serviceable and plain. But one has a special place in my home because it has a printed message on it about the meaning of true friendship. My best pal gave it to me, after 45 years of friendship, just a few weeks before she died. I think of her every single time I see it.

Refuse to use tea towels. Nasty germ-laden things. Yuk!

If you just collect them that’s OK.

I have a whole drawer full of them! I thought only the other day that my collection was a bit over the top. Will count them tomorrow! I love household linen and always have, ever since I was a child. Tea towels always provide a quick and relatively cheap thrill! (I suppose there are worse addictions...) I have some of my mum's and some of my mil's which I treasure. Some given to me as gifts, especially by DD1 who shares my enthusiasm, some bought as souvenirs on holiday. And then there's the Christmas ones, including one which was a present the first Christmas we were married...

I have one of those Calendargirl*, also from my MIL's unused stash of tea towels.

I have enough tea towels to last a few years. After Mum died, we found all the tea towels the kids had brought her from holidays carefully stored away.
Think of her every time I use them, also the new commemorative decimal coin one (1971) that I haven’t yet sullied.

I have far too many teatowels Jacky considering that the dishwasher does most of the washing and drying.
I have a huge drawer full, some dating back about 25 years.
So many memories, ones from far flung places, ones from the seaside, ones bought as gifts.My fave one ( good quality Irish linen) is very very old given by my Grandma in about 1969 to me, and has dancing hares on it and bluebells.?
