I spent yesterday treasure hunting in Quakertown, Pennsylvania and it was a whirlwind trip because I went to four different antique malls and shops. Exhausting but I figured, since I'd driven an hour and a half, I might as well do as much as I could while there. I found some great stuff but I'm still processing everything (logging in prices and info for future reference, soaking and washing linens, then picture taking) so it will be a few days before I start showing you the goodies. But I couldn't wait to show you this sweet embroidered towel. Are these the cutest dog and cat portraits ever?
Amazing how just a few simple embroidered lines can convey such personality! Nice use of chain stitch for the bows, too. Click through to my Flickr page to see some closeup shots of the animals.

So adorable! What a find!
So cute! I love the simple way they convey the dog and cat. I don't live far from Quakertown (about an hour) so you've inspired me to go antiquing there as well. Oh and they have a great scrapbooking store I might sneak into too.
Kawaii! I love that kind of embroidery :)
