The tea towels are so beautifully made. The embroidery is a work of art and they are so cheerful to look at. I have one in my kitchen and one in my bathroom. The linen is top quality and is very absorbent for drying my pots & pans, and hands. The towels get softer with every washing and they still look brand new. I love them so much that I have bought many more to give as gifts. Most of all, the purchase helps provide jobs for Haitian women to help support their families.
