Dishtowel Lust
I used to save our pretty dishtowels to hang attractively from the oven door. Then, when someone spilled something, and my husband reached for a conveniently located towel to mop it up, I’d screech, “DONTUSETHATONE!”
Shortly, I realized that chastening my family for using dishtowels to wipe things up was insane. I solved the problem by gradually replacing our utilitarian dishtowels with pretty ones, and breathing more deeply when people used them for their intended purpose.
The upside to routinely staining dishtowels is that I can spend more time lusting after the handmade versions on Etsy. Hello, darlings:

Oh, I love dish towels from Etsy. The best part is that most artists will custom make them for you. Last Christmas I gave a friend of mine towels with her favorite print.

Apparently I’m not the only one who has a little thingie for dishtowels! I thought I was alone in my lust. I think I deserve to toss the stained old towels I’ve got and spring for one or two little beauties.
