The acid yellow (or chartreuse) version was my entry in the Spoonflower/ Roostery Tea Towel Contest: Home is Where the Heart Is (and I loved the easy to obey instruction to "Keep it quirky or make it traditional– just be authentic!").

 

These little houses are modeled on the stone, clay and timber-framed houses of ancient Crete as depicted in found miniature faience plaques. I'm hoping they might suit the ardent archaeologist who needs matching tea towels. In the meantime they are a camping goods present for my friend's new trailer.
