BlueQ tea towels GIVEAWAY:)

What we've got here is a little tea towel giveaway! The tea towels aren't little tho... they are 20" x 28" all cotton, hand-woven in India and screenprinted with water-based, non-toxic inks... I had a ton of fun creating these designs for BlueQ, and it makes me happy that they will end up in peoples kitchens:) 
So... leave me a comment... and I will pick a winner (using my little bingo ball) on Friday afternoon ... and hopefully brighten someone's weekend. Hooray for giveaways!
