When did my love of tea towels begin?
Well it wasn't at the kitchen sink!
Inspiration came when I saw these wonderful tea towels at StudioPatro
They describe it so beautifully:
"what is a tea towel?
essential kitchen accomplice
natural and absorbent
thoughtful, responsible giving
washable and reusable
classic cook's tool
better than a paper towel
motivator to dry the dishes
dish towel or art?"
Had to buy this one for the IKEA man in my life!
The thought popped into my head that I really needed to know how
to use these tea towels for wrapping gifts japanese style, Furoshiki to be precise.
Furoshiki in a nutshell = the origami of cloth
Do you believe in synchronicity?
I do ...
no sooner had the wrapping idea come to me
than I was led to click on this link with a twist!
Further investigation led me here and now I am madly practising wrapping anything to get my skill level up.

I had to end with my own effort
No animal suffered in the taking these photographs
Ps Sorry, this blog has link overload - but I just kept finding more and more that I wanted to share with you.

I'm glad you put in that disclaimer about Rufus not suffering! How on earth did you get him to sit still and pose
thanks so much for your nice thoughts and words. nice to know about you through your blog too!
Thanks for your comments - Rufus is a born performer and a few treats are all he needs as incentive. I think he loves the camera!
