sweet embellished tea towels

Stacy received this beautiful embroidered tea towel as a gift and we all fell in love with it. It's from Anthropolgie, a chic retailer that offers unique clothing items as well as gorgeous accessories and things for the home. We love them because their items always have some small detail that make them special. I wish I could dress and decorate as chic yet nonchalantly as the people in their catalog (insert daydream here). But I don't have $24 to spend on a tea towel. (Who does?)



I can, however, be inspired by their designs and make my own for a lot less. These dish towels are all currently for sale in their catalog. Aren't they sweet?




Stacy took the challenge and came up with her own darling towels. (Sorry the colors are a little off--they're even cuter in person.)





She bought plain tea towels in bright colors and machine-appliqued simple designs on each. She added a little embroidery, some buttons, a bit of ric rac, and a darling pom-pom trim to finish them off. Very chic. And nonchalant. Very Anthropologie. For a lot less.




These would make a great hostess gift, or gift to yourself! They're a simple way to brighten up your kitchen in anticipation of spring.

For all of you who don't think those look pretty darn easy, you're in luck. Stacy has these gorgeous towels for sale in her Etsy shop, mimiroses! Not to mention some other fun items. We're so glad she's finally open for business (she just had to get over a little shipping phobia). Check her out!
