For the love of tea (towels)

I love old tea towels, especially those made of linen. I always keep an eye open at estate sales for great colored and patterned towels. I think they make perfect hostess gifts, or, hey, Valentine's Day is quickly approaching! Here are a couple of my favorites that I've adopted over the years and some others that I've found on Etsy...
