Vintage Tea Towels ~ Faithfulness Farm

Last week I was in my favorite thrift store and found some lovely old vintage tea towels. I was so thrilled. I completely emptied the bin and came up with a total of 5 of them. The colors were all still vibrant and although there was a few stains from age (not use), I knew they were a great find...especially since they were only 25 cents each!

Last winter I wrote a post on caring for vintage linens. I used those same techniques for cleaning these lovely tea towels.

After removing surface dust, I put them to soak in some of my homemade laundry soap and some Borax in tepid water.

After several hours, I could not see anymore stains. I line dried them and then gave them a good pressing with a warm iron. See the little tag...MADE IN THE USA!!
