Congrats to Bren @BG_Garden for being the winner of my first giveaway!  Runner up prize went to @jchapstk!  Thanks to all that entered! 

 

 

On a recent thrifting excursion I came across two vintage, all pure linen, “Cocktail Recipes” towels made by Ulster.  After doing some research on the Ulster company I learned that the towels I purchased were most likely from the 1960′s and similar to the towel sold here on Etsy.  According to The Ulster Linen Company’s website and Facebook page  I’ve discovered that they are the premier wholesaler of fine European linens since 1933! Both towels are in excellent condition and in my opinion have never been used.

 

 

Being a lover of graphics, fonts and, ahem, cocktails I knew immediately that one of these towels was going to end up in my kitchen.  What is going to happen with the second one?  Well, hopefully it’s going to end up in YOUR kitchen.  So, won’t you join me in my first giveaway?  Let’s have some fun!
