"Functional Art!"
These three cotton tea towels are well made and their vivacious colors put a smile on my face every time I dry my hands on them. Theyre absorbent and soft to the touch. I hope to be able to buy more from Mr. Chiroy in the near future.

"Brightened our table!"
The colors added to the informality we try to achieve when serving guests. As usual, a Novica artisan created just what we were looking for!
