Another vintage embroidered towel
Here's the other embroidered floursack dishtowel that I mentioned in my previous post.
I can't even believe I scored this for 50 cents. Wow.
First of all, I love fruit motifs, especially pineapples.
I tend to gravitate to Hawaiian and Pacific Island designs.
I especially appreciate the asymmetry in this piece--how the outline in black makes the leaves of the pineapple pop.
I love how white space is left to simulate how light would hit the fruit, and thereby give the shapes definition.
Very artistic.

Now that is really nice and you describe it in a very thorough way. "The white space is left to simulates how light would hit the fruit," is so artistic sounding. You have an eye for things. Nice buy. Take care.
Great find! I can't believe you nabbed that for 50 cents.
Both towels are great, Barb! And, what a bargain!
50-cents!! What a steal! I love finds like that! :) I think i feel a thrifting trip in my future :)
