Tea towel

Isn’t it funny how a simple monogram takes something ordinary and makes it extra special? Takes these tea towels from Jeran at Oleander + Palm for example. They were just plain old striped towels. Pretty, yes, but still just plain old towels. However, after Jeran added a monogram using the freezer paper stencil technique, they are oh-so adorable and gift-worthy. I guess that’s why stores can charge more for the monogramming than the actual towel {Wink}!

When Anthropologie sold out of a “swoon-worthy” butterfly dishtowel, Katie from Henry Happened found a way to recreate the look. From the water-color butterflies to the stitching detail to the pom-pom trim, Katie did not leave out a detail. Oh, and she did it all without sewing a thing! This towel is a lovely decorative piece for the kitchen and, like Katie says, “would make luxe gifts to have on hand for the holiday season!”
