DIY Flour Sack Dish Towels For #ValentinesDay

There are some really beautiful prints, vintage or otherwise, for Valentine's Day at the craft stores! We loved the vintage print below! What to do with this deliciousness, besides pair it with the vintage teacup setting? Well, there IS a flour sack towel just sitting there....maybe we could do something with that too! It's a great time to do crafts with the cold and snowy weather in full swing. My sister-in-law, Alicia, and I got together for this project. Alicia is my go-to gal for creativity and craft know-how. As a matter of fact we want to do a craft here on the blog once a month. Stay tuned for more easy and fun ideas! 

If you have just 2 items, you can make these beautiful Valentine's Day Tea Towels for your kitchen!  It does help to have a sewing machine, but not absolutely necessary, if you have patience to stitch the lengths of fabric onto the towel. These towels will brighten things up and maybe even get the  menfolk in the mood for V-Day! They make great gifts too!

Item #1 - Get a beautiful piece of Valentine's fabric like this heart and flower pattern! I got one yard of material and had enough for 10 towels.

 or this vintage print!

Item #2 - A Pack of Flour Sack Towels, non-commercial grade.

 Cut the fabric into strips, approximately 5" wide and 21" long. (You don't have to make the fabric strip the complete length of the towel.) Sew the strip to the bottom of the towel. Since the towels are meant to look shabby/chic, no need to hem them. Some eventual fraying will contribute to the overall look.

 I was so happy with the results of these simple yet beautiful decorative Valentine's Day towels!

Sweets For Your Sweetie Gift Tower

Just some of the treats I received

I received an early Valentine Gift from California Delicious! I got to sample their Happy Valentine's Day Gourmet Gift Basket! The sturdy basket came looking very pretty all wrapped up in a pretty bow and cellophane for freshness.    Now, I am a bonified chocolate fan, as attested by my Pinterest Board and those who know me! I was very interested in what kind of chocolate would be included.  I loved the Triple chocolate brownie, the Ghiradelli Chocolate bar, and the Godiva Truffles!  I liked the balance between sweet and salty.  The salty was good with the Smoked Almonds, and the cheese spread and crackers!  There were plenty of treats to enjoy myself and share with members of the family.  It was a big hit with everyone!

My Basket came wrapped like this!

California Delicious has hundreds of options to choose from.  From fruit baskets to Chocolate Towers to wine baskets to Gifts For Her and Gifts For Him.  Basically, if you want to send your Aunt's 2nd Cousin's Secretary a celebratory gift on the acquisition of her first cat, there is definitely something at California Delicious, starting at just $19.99.  I think the only reason NOT to think about sending a gift basket is if the person lives somewhere like Russia.  Now, if they are coming BACK from Sochi because they are participators or spectators at the Olympics, by all means a gift basket from California Delicious is in order!!!!

Right now California Delicious is having a great special.  It's called Give A Gift, Get A Gift and it's just that!  "No kidding…We will send you a nakedwines.com gift card valued at $50 for every gift* that you send from California Delicious.  It’s our way of saying Thanks for your business!"  This is only while supplies last, so hurry!
