Florida Dish Towel by Catstudio

This original design celebrates the beautiful sunshine State of Florida. From the Keys to Pensacola, Tampa to Palm Beach, Flamingos to Alligators...and we'd never forget the Mouth of the Rat (Boca Raton)!! Ha! Ha! What a great State!

The design is silk-screened, then framed with a hand embroidered border on a 100% cotton dish towel/hand towel/guest towel/bar towel. Three stripes down both sides and hand dyed rick-rack at the top and bottom add a charming vintage touch. Delightfully presented in a fab organdy re-usable pouch!
