Mississippi Dish Towel by Catstudio
The State of Mississippi - from Biloxi to Tunica to Tupelo to the Shack-Up Inn (an amazing place right outside of Clarksdale)!
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!
