Clearly, these new tea towels from Bay Area textile designer Yaling Hou of Flowie are not just for drying dishes.

Each linen and cotton towel features a delicate hand-screened print and a tab at the top for easy hanging. At just $22, that translates into very inexpensive artwork for your walls. Or back it with some muslin and make yourself a pretty decorative pillow. Use them on dishes if you must.

Flowie is offering free shipping on items over $25 through Dec. 31 and 10% off for their blog readers. Enter coupon code “mydiary” at checkout.
