Whale Bottle Opener & Stripe Cotton Towels

DSC 2002 Whale Bottle Opener & Stripe Cotton Towels

Two recent purchases that I am totally in love with. Above a whale bottle opener ($21) that I picked up at Liberty Henry & Me in Marblehead and cotton herringbone stripe towels ($20) I picked up on Amazon.

I probably didn’t need the whale opener but it’s so freakin cute and looks pretty adorable resting on my windowsill in the kitchen. I picked up the stripe towels for all the bread baking I’ve been doing. I use to buy the ikea version by the dozen but decided to try a more industrial towel. The amazon towels are bigger, stronger, and more absorbent. I found similar towels even cheaper on large kitchen supply websites but the shipping usually ended up costing more then the towels. I’ll have to keep investigating…

Just got this tip. Available in red, green and blue stripes: $3.95 dozen.

    These towels are very soft & super absorbant.
    I stopped by somewhere to sit down & study in between classes. the only available table was dirty. I sat down anyways when a friend of mine walked by & noticed the table. She returned with a pail of soapy water. She pulled out a Herringbone cleaned the table. I then noticed a sticky spot on the table edge. As she unfolded the soapy towel & started Wiping the table edge. I started trying to brush it loose with my thumb. She unfolded the towel & began pushing the soapy towel back & fourth trying to clean the sticky junk. While doing so the towel overshot the table edge & wiping over my hand a number of times getting it pretty wet. She then soaped up the towel once More. Then she voluntarily wiped both my hands. The towel was soft & very warm.

    They are absorbant. Yet thet are very soft & gentle to the touch. That way you won’t have to worry about this soft towel being rough on you hands & destroying them.
