Love both of those ideas, though I am partial to the chair even though I too use my towels for drying the dishes. I do have tea towel curtains I’ve hung in a couple of rooms made with some that were too good to dry with- maybe that’s an idea for the days of the week towels? I just use the little squeezy rings, in case I ever want to switch up the towels!

I have a large collection of souvenir spoons, hanging sedately in matching spoon racks in the living room. I dare not show them the top photo or there will be an uprising!

wow, two minds with the same thoughts across continents – I have been collecting old tea towels for years to do a sofa like this! Also, in my book of wants (when I have a big enough kitchen) are pictures of spoon chandeliers, though I haven’t seen them done with collector’s type spoons before.

My MIL gave me a set of embroidered Days of the Week tea towels and I don’t know how to display them. (I don’t think uphostering a chair would work for me Any ideas?

I do not know which one I have fallen in love with more, the chair or the chandelier. The chair brings me back to when I was a vintage textile dealer and the chandelier is present day. I love Ms. Stanford’s site. Brilliant, fun and fresh.
