{Heart} Tea Towels

I got a day off work this week so of course i went oppy shopping. I didn't get much else but i did score the mudderfudder load of tea towels. I am fairly certain that i have enough to do a big project with now. How exciting.
Merimbular on the top tea towel is a place we only got  to drive through on my caravan trip but next year when we will hopefully get to stay there for a couple of days.
 I'm pretty sure this is the only way i will get this Nullabor tea towel because that is a trip i don't want to do (unless i have three months to do it in).

 This one i bought home not because of its design but at the bottom there is a verse of "Amazing Grace", a hymn that is close to my heart because we sang at my Grandfathers funeral.
 I also picked up this Tassie linen tablecloth. I think that makes three i have now....
I am however worried about their research when creating the table cloth. I went looking for the closest icon to me and found "Beach Boat Harbour" ....hang on.....WTF??? It's Boat Harbour Beach peoples!!! I am wondering if this is how someone in China interprets  how we say this place name in English. I guess i should be thankful that the North West  even got a look in.... hee hee... oh well best no to be bitter about it.

I love your tea towels and tablecloth Michelle...I have that Nullabor one and I've driven across...it's not too bad although we nearly left our daughters on the side of the road more than a few times!

Ooh I lovelovelove vintage tea towels and I can't wait to see what you do with these! I collect calendar tea towles from the 60s and 70s. Also, that tablecloth is gorgeous.
