Dog & Cat Dish Towels

Kitchen towels and aprons with something to say about the dog: "Happy dog, happy home," "Only talking to my dog today," "Cats make the purrfect home," a paw-print Christmas tree, "Meowy Christmas," a dog or cat well trained enough to be trusted with the dishes, and a set of hand-painted one-of-a-kind towels. Nearly twenty designs from our own Gussied Up label, $14.99 to $24.99.

They are cotton, absorbent and made to be used rather than hung, and the clean-paw towel comes in a choice of sayings. The two kitchen aprons, one for dog people and one for cat people, are the piece that gets bought for the family cook at the holidays. Towels ship flat and fit in a card envelope, which makes them the easy add-on to a mug or a card.

For the rest of the house, the wall signs, pillows and doormats continue the theme, and everything on this page is on the table at the Alpharetta Farmers Market on Saturdays from April to mid-November if you want to feel the fabric first.
