Tea towels are rarely subject to the rigorous questions that affect other purchases. (Will this fit an extra deep California king? What’s the thread count? Is it luxuriously smooth Supima cotton or eco-friendly bamboo? Are these fluffy enough? Are these worth the money or should I wait for a sale?)
Granted, one doesn't sink into a bed of tea towels or wrap up in one after a shower, but, like other household linens, they should be appreciated for their beauty and not just their ability to dry off a plate. Tea towels have the power to make a statement, celebrate good design and add a little charm to the daily chores.
Consider ToDryFor.com, an online boutique that treats the handy kitchen tea towel as of affordable art. It was founded by a husband and wife team (Sally and Dave) in Oxford, England. They retail and / or commission designs by prominent or soon-to-be artists and illustrators who are happy to let you wipe your chipped juice glasses with their canvases.
