The Cat’s Meow
Last week while I was perusing all the items at Fish Eddy with Caitlin we both stopped to admire some vintage looking dish towels. We both thought they were rather darling and I thought it best to share since I’ve been hooked on them since then.
Enter Cat Studio they were inspired by vintage souvenir pillows from the 30s and 40s. The put the prints on dish towels, pillows, aprons, tray, totes and drinking glasses.
Here are some of my favorites:
I was born and raised in NYC right by the South St. Seaport and Financial District so this dish towel would definitely be coming home with me.
Now I live in the suburbs of NYC so I would also need this one as well:
Plus how chic would this one look in a beach house (preferably one I will one day own):
If you twist my arm I would also enjoy a summer home here:
At only $20 a pop for a dish towel I would happily purchase as many as I like and use them in the kitchen, frame them and even make some toss pillows!
{Would some day like to live here!}
They make toss pillows as well, but for the $149 price tag I’ll take a dish towel and either some spare fabric or a cloth napkin for a backing and make one myself!

ON THE BLOG
My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
If your going to San Francisco… be sure to wear flowers in your hair. Ahhh I love my state. I think I am needing the California towel.
i've posted their pillows before. LOVE THEM. i will have to spluge and get the NYC and Canada pillows i think.
I see a Christmas wish list with an Alabama and Texas dishtowel in my future! Thanks for the link those are so awesome. You should tell some stories about growing up in NYC it seems so cool coming from someone that grew up in a rural Alabama town of 3,000!
Great minds think alike! My mom bought these pillows for me and my sister a few years ago for Christmas – Boston and New York, respectively
Ahhh Liz has this pillow for Boston! And I always wanted a NY one!!!
I have the Atlanta pillow and a collection of their juice glasses. If you can, get into the gift shows. I bought mine wholesale and it was a fraction of the retail price.
Squeel!! The NJ one has Lucy the Elephant on it! I got married inside of Lucy! Yeah, I'm so buying a few of these dish towels now 🙂
I love these! Did you see the ones in Julie and Julia? So cute. I am interested in seeing what the pillow would look like if you would make one with a dish towel. How fun that you got to meet Caitlin!
These are precious and would be a whimsical touch for any room. So cute!
I've seen the pillows but not the dish towels..they are perfect! Especially the price.
I really wish they weren't so expensive because they would look amaaaaazing in my living room. Thanks for sharing!
Great idea to make a apillow out of them…I was always going to collect tea towels and tablecloths like that…only have 1.
These are great! And I love how affordable the dish towels are.
i LOVE their stuff … have several pieces!
Had to tell you — just, finally, got the shoes here in KL and OMG I LOVE THEM!!! They are the most comfortable sandals I own, hands down. Immediately threw them on and haven't taken them off yet. You're the best! xx
I just saw this pillow at a store here (with WA on it) and totally loved it too. Being an ex-New Yorker and at heart, I think I want the New York one though.
Those are too fun. LOVE the first one!
I have three of the dish towels- one for each of the three states that I have lived in. Idaho, Mississippi, and Alabama. I love them.
