And then this arrived in the mail! Dear Beverly: I'm in!
One evening I hopped over from the Cute Pink Stuff blog to the Etsy shop and GASPed when I saw this "white flour sack tea towel detailed with a pink fleur de lis detail, 'FLEUR' lettering and a bottom ruffle." Ooh la la!
I told my boys that we won't be wiping our hands on this towel. (As if they would use anything besides their shirts! Silly me.)
How do you think it looks here?
Is this too staged?
Imagine it as a valance or cafè curtain?
Upon knowing I must have the towel, I asked Cute Pink Stuff's Cindy if she would be interested in a little swap between our Etsy shops and she agreed! In exchange for the towel she requested 2 sets of my cottage clips, which I customized for her. To thank her for her generosity, I added some cute pink stuff for her.
In addition to her blog and Etsy shop, Cindy has an online shop also filled with cottage chic dècor. Beautiful!

And here is a wink of pink from my Etsy shop, Tinkered Treasures.
Happy Pink Saturday!

The basket of flowers on the wall to the cuteness factor is just adorable. And I can't get over how cute the cloths pins are. I love them so much I'm going to attempt to make mine up like yours!! Oh goodness wish me luck.
Happy Pink Saturday! I love these kind of swaps! Of course I had to smile about your boys not using the towel...That is something that needn't to be globalized, but it did, believe me!
Everything looks so nice and swaps are wonderful aren't they.

Hi, Elyse! Very cute! Well, if you're like me, just about the time you decide how to display that towel, you'll just change it again! It's all part of the fun of playing house! ♥
It looks perfect wherever you may place it :-) Very pretty too.
