We sometimes buy a single one when on holiday. It is a bit of a British obsession to have regional dishtowels.

She is...I love Pionner Woman and her pretty things! She is one great gal and her life is so interesting! I envied her when she met and married her cowboy! I see her placemats and cookware at Walmart and always want to buy it, but never have. I may have to break down and get some pretty new dishtowels though, as love these! especially love the flowered ones and I love a pretty towel hanging in my kitchen. I do have a dishwasher but do dish washing by hand most of the time now, since it's just me. I still manage to end up with a sink full of dishes thoug! I almost don't like having the dishwasher, as it makes it easier to just pile something int he sink and plan to put it in the dishwasher later. It is almost a waste of time, to wash a dish.. then put it IN the d/w.. and then have to take it out and put it away! I may run it once a week and wash the rest by hand. But I still love my pretty dishtowels! Those look like a nice quality.. I don't like those ones that have that fluffy side that catches on everything... I forget what it's called but don't like it at all. Those end up in my rag bag, though don't even like using them as rags! The back side is usually that mesh stuff.. doesn't absorb worth beans. I think washing dishes by hand is very therapeutic for the mind too.. very relaxing. I grew up until into my 20's without a dishwasher.. my mom never wanted one. She had 4 daughters as her dishwashers! We would take turns.. one would wash, one would dry, one would set the table.. and then one got a free night. Good memories! take care and enjoy. .and yes we deserve a pretty gift for ourselves now and then! xoxo MarilynMarilyn McLeod @ Pink Paper Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166022624714254716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-45076639453061428422022-08-13T00:18:45.955-07:002022-08-13T00:18:45.955-07:00Hi Connie.

Are they smooth cotton or terry cloth? I love dishtowels but I have to admit, I'm picky about them and only like the heavier, smooth cotton ones. Though I suppose even if one didn't use those and had them in a folded pile in a basket in the kitchen, they'd look very pretty.<br /><br />I have a dishwasher - couldn't do without it! One chore I hate doing is dishes. Of course, I hand wash some things, especially if they need scrubbing. But I don't enjoy it! ;-)Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659968511488397366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-61772610073452538032022-08-11T17:46:31.593-07:002022-08-11T17:46:31.593-07:00Those towels are lovely!

But there are still some things that need to be washed by hand, and dried. I'm one of those people who enjoy doing the laundry! Hanging it out in the sunshine and seeing it moving gently in the breeze really pleases me. Plus I quite enjoy ironing too, but have to admit I've cut this right down after my back problems. Wish I had a fairy who would come and do the cleaning though.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13596754983215564299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-60724648608781535002022-08-11T12:09:03.435-07:002022-08-11T12:09:03.435-07:00I sure do like those dish towels.

Your new towels are so pretty!

So I consider doing dishes therapy, not only does it help my hand but it's kind of relaxing to me.

My Mom used to have plain white dishtowels (home made) with days-of-the-week pictures that she'd embroider on each one. You know the ones...a lady doing laundry on Monday, Ironing on Tuesday....<br />I haven't bought myself a present in ages. Seems there's not much I want ((except chocolate ))Granny Marigoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15858237999602347848noreply@blogger.com
