Current Available Merchandise

I have a few extra tea towels at the moment, ready to go :)



So! These are some of my new fabrics, which I picked up when I popped over to Perth unexpectedly. Found some terrific Montreaux Drill prints! I could have bought soooo many more!

Here is the first of them:


BIG APPLES:
100% Cotton, Montreaux Drill.

Printed on one side with happy green apples interspersed with an occasional golden delicious ;-) It's a very cheery print, perfect for summer! It's a sturdy fabric, thicker than the cotton-linen blend I showed you previously.



BLUE CHECK:
100% cotton, seersucker in navy.

This is a thinner fabric, more along the lines of the linen-cotton blend. Slightly rippled/waffly in appearence due to the weave of this fabric, this is a terrific old-fashioned looking dish towel.



(Blue & Red) STRIPES:
100% cotton, Catalina Stripe.

When I bought this I thought it'd make terrific napkins. I still do, but I've caved and made a tea towel instead. And if it isn't the perfect kind of material for soaking up moisture & drying dishes. It's a thicker looser weave of cotton, printed on one side with the very kitchen-orientated stripe. This would look TERRIFIC in a neutral coloured kitchen as a splash of colour: I'm thinking a lovely new Ikea kitchen here, with those lovely oak-coloured cupboards.

Each tea towel is $5 each, 3 for $12. I can mix-and-match a pack if you're after three different kinds.

Linen-Cotton Tea Towels: blue stripe







Tea Towels, or Dish Towels. We all have them hanging in our kitchen, whether they be from the oven door, or a hook beside the sink, or a nifty nice towel rack. We're all tempted by the ugly gingham 3 for $5 towels that our local market has. We might get them from our grandparents for christmas, or inherit them. I know that I've got a bundle that I rescued from a relative's house that was being cleaned out to be sold. She had stashed them for years, and had lots of colourful towels that had never been used.

My favourite tea towels are the thin ones, that don't leave behind bits of towel on your glasses, and that are thin enough to stuff in our wine glasses to dry them all nice and shiny.



These tea towels are hand made from a lovely linen-cotton blend, and are thin but sturdy, perfect for those wine glasses.

$5 for 1.
$12 for 3.

Postage calculated with order, sent by Australia Post.




Welcome

Welcome, to my little place of Handmade :)

I've so enjoyed crocheting this year on One Square At A Time: I've learned so much! The time has come to share what I know with others.

So, here is where I'm selling a few bits and pieces! They wont all be crochet, and indeed the first few things I'm selling are definitely not. I love creating beautiful useful things for our home. It's so easy to buy an ugly tea towel, because they're 3 for $5 at the local market, or buying many disposable kitchen cloths that just get thrown away after a week.

So here, you'll find affordable plain tea towels, and crocheted dishcloths for the kitchen. :)

I use Australia Post to ship, and shipping will depend on your location and the size of your order. This will be confirmed after you place your order.

I hand-make everything that is featured on this blog and do not farm out any of my work. In certain circumstances, I will be able to make things to order.

Thank you :)
