Things I Love: Old Fashioned Dish Towels

Thought for this perfect summer day: sometimes the simplest thing can make you happy.

A friend recently sent me three of these large (they're really capacious - 30 by 38 inches) white flour sack dish towels.

I am in love.

They dry glasses better than any other towel I've ever encountered.  They're great for drying lettuce and leaving it in the refrigerator. They clean up beautifully because they're so simple: pure white so they take bleach.

They make me smile at each encounter.
