Sometimes I can't figure out what to call something. My little collection of kitchen linens: tableclothes, tea towels, and aprons, are fun & colorful. But the ones with maps on them? What do I call them? Map linens? Location cloths? State tablecloths? So I compromised and call them Map Kitchen Linens. I have 3 map tablecloths: 2 of California and 1 of Washington & Oregon. I have a fabulous California apron that looks fresh & new, but is definitely NOT a reproduction. I also have several tea towels- 1 of Arizona (not pictured), one of the Western United States, and one of California (not pictured in the group photo, but shown below)
I use them all the time, and each time I wash them I mourn a little more... they are definitely old, and they fade slightly with each wash. But I think it's more important to use them when I can, than to worry about a little color fade. I hope you enjoy!
