Say hello to Mrs Spoon

Have bought new tea towels for some relatives as part of their xmas box and as they are so pretty it seemed a shame to hide them in the bottom of the hampers.
So here is a way of making a feature of them.
this is made from 1 tea towel and 2 face cloths but as it was a trial please ignore the contrasting colours and string. when i do them proper they will be all colour co-ordinated and i will use very narrow ribbon in place of the string.
i also thought it would look better with a small wash mop , if they still sell them. remember the old type where it was a little mop on the end of a wooden dowel. or am i showing my age

  • Love Mrs Spoon!

    Those little dish mops you mentioned, I'm sure I saw some for sale in Wilkinsons the other day. (In the kitchen stuff/cleaning aisle). Probably cheaper than buying them online.
