So, did anyone else have trouble finding cute towels? I went to 3 places & while I did get some they weren't quite what I had in mind. If I'd had more time I might have ordered them online cause I saw lots of cute one while I was browsing.

Towana & Patrice's packages will go in todays mail.

Debbie, I had the same challenge!  I sent your towel a couple of days ago with a note saying something similar.  I had no idea I'd have such a difficult time finding something in soft muted green or with frogs or peacocks - not ONE in sight & peacocks were everywhere here a few months ago. I went to 6 stores & I must say that there are some really boring kitchen towels in California at the moment :-).  I hope we do this again in spring time because I think the choices will be more abundant.  But if I come across a frog or peacock in soft muted green in the middle of February, you'll find a surprise in your mailbox!smiley

I had a tough time too lol. I even hit Amazon and couldnt find what I needed.  Finally I found one close to what I needed. I never dreamed finding dish towels would be tough lol. Spring would have been better I think lol. I enjoyed it regardless!

Thanks for your comments.  I never thought of online shopping!  I will definitely keep your suggestions in mind for next time.

I also had problems finding anything really good.  Sorry Erin, yours were  plain - I couldn't find any good patterns for you.

Melissa B and Erin Mc, your towels are wrapped up and ready to go to the Post Office on Monday morning. I'm sorry for mailing late but I thought I had another week to get them out.

I mailed my towels last Thursday (Thursday, Sep. 20).  I just come home from being out of town for a long weekend.  Expected due date for both of mine was Monday.

I wish I had more time to find dish towels too.  I went to 3 stores and the last one I bought them because I had to mail the next day.

Happy Fall!  It doesn't really feel or look like fall yet in Northern Indiana, but I know it will be here soon. I'm just enjoying the last of the summer-like weather.

I apologize to Erin (ErinMc) and Katherine (kimberlyrav) for the late mailing.  Your towels were sent today and should be there Thursday.

Thank you, Towana for the lovely 'Happy Fall Y'all' towels! Maybe it will help make it feel a little more like Fall here in South Florida! Thank you for including the lovely sea horse card as well. I love sparkles.

 Melissa and Erin, your towels were mailed today.You should have them by Thursday. Sorry for the delay. Enjoy!
