meander makes lovely botanical tea towels

Let’s face it: doing the dishes is no fun. Washing up (or rather, not washing up) is the number one reason why sharehouses implode. While there isn’t a magical solution to this daily chore (aside from investing in a dishwasher), there is one thing that might make dish-drying a little easier: Meander’s tea towels.

The Melbourne brand, run by textile designer and illustrator Natalie Ryan, offers up lovely designs made from premium Russian linen. Each cloth is printed with one of Natalie’s watercolour illustrations, which might help you pretend you’re out in nature instead of standing in the kitchen, drying a bowl you just spent 10 minutes scraping dry cereal off of. If you could do with some eye-pleasing tea towels, head over to the Meander Designs shop.
