those towels are gorgeous. if i had them i probably wouldnt use them as i would be afraid of getting them so stained up they wouldnt come clean and that would totally ruin them. been busy doing up some little handmade gifts for my Santee--xmas ornaments and mug rug . been raining here so havent been out to finish shopping for the little things to stick in the corners of the box and other odd places and of course, the all encompassing candy items.
