After scouring op shops finally pay dirt a new stash of souvenir tea towels. Washed and ironed they are ready to be made into new bags. One of the things I love about these towels is that they were rarely used so are mostly in pristine condition. As I recall they didn't dry the dishes well!
They are deliciously kitsch! Check out this koala. Ouch!
The calendar towels are my favourite and whilst most are vintage these wear their credentials on their sleeve.
Apparently wattle was in vogue in 1979 along with turquoise and orange, one of my favourite colour combos. Seriously.
The Aboriginal images are the ultimate kitsch but some are not PC these days. A little piece of our cultural history.
Placemats - not quite sure how to use these but couldn't resist them.
More doilies and traycloths. My mum is on the trail and picked up most of these for me.
I find these darling cloths so motivating, can't wait to play with them and make some lovely homespun things from them.
They are really pretty Jodie - that's so cool you found them : )
