Forage Tea Towel
A Window Garden. Inspired by impromptu windowsill arrangements of flowers, leaves, weeds and clippings gathered on walks around the neighborhood, this hand-drawn tea towel encourages the simple art of foraging. All you need is a windowsill, small jars and vessels, and an eye for the simple beauty in nature!
Made well: Linen is durable, ultra-absorbent, naturally resists dirt and stains and is a stronger, more long-lasting fabric than cotton. It will stand the test of time through years of everyday use. Each towel is screen-printed with water-based inks that integrate into the texture of the linen when washed.
Easy to care for: Machine wash in cool to warm water. Air dry or tumble dry on low and remove while damp. Ready to use again and again.
