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:
