One day, several years ago (because that's just how far behind I am) I was in Goodwill and found a HUGE collection of really old calender tea towels. They go all the way back to 1955!
When I bought them I had no idea what I was going to do, but they were so charming AND cheap that I bought the whole collection! CeeKay (from Thinkin' of Home) was over shortly after and picked this cute towel out. 1973 was the year she and her hubs took their wedding vows. (she's sentimental that way)
I bet she thinks I forgot...
But I didn't! I just finally got around to this project.
I think it is so Stinkin' cute! I hope she will like it.
I have more.... probably 20-30 of them. I'll show you some when I get them done!
Oh girl this is SO cute!
ReplyDeletethe Fashionista has several of these from the 70's that she uses in her kitchen.
I'd take a 1968 ~ wink wink ;)
Oh...OH!!!!! I didn't think you forgot, just busy! It is soooo stinkin cute...I LOVE it!!
ReplyDeleteOh my I do believe down in the deep of my basement tucked away I have some of these from my early days of homemaking..What a great way you have used them. You could make many ladies happy if you sold these..This is a great project and I'm glad you found the time to complete it..Have a great week..
ReplyDeleteI remember these well.....what an adorable idea for a craft! :D

I remember when I found a bunch at a thrift store, I went to buy them and then I discovered I had forgot my wallet. :( They were gone when I went back.
ReplyDeleteI did find one once and I used it to make my Mom a bag!!
Great minds think a like. Love the colors that your friend chose!!
Cute! You did a beautiful job putting it together with the matching eyelets.
