Because I can. And also because I want! Telar by Nido recently sent me their new lookbook for a collection of cotton placemats they did and it got me thinking about table linens. Which gets me thinking about a recent episode of Parks and Recreation where April freaks out about becoming boring and old and here I am, single and writing about placemats. It's ok, I still feel young! (Read: old. So old.)
Anyway, my point is that I recently bought this Charvet Editions linen tea towel (above) at Home Of The Brave. I use it for my face because it's lightly exfoliating and just generally luxe without being precious. I like to know that if one day I'm over it I can use it in the kitchen. And right after I bought this some friends of mine were looking for tea towels (we're gay, you know?) and I wanted to be like, "Linen, ladies! It's just the ticket!" but I held back. I have restraint.
But then I started writing this post. So restraint has its limits. If you're a South Brooklyn-er like me and you aren't planning to trek to Greenpoint any time soon (yes, I deem it a trek, so sue me), you should stop into Home Stories in Brooklyn Heights (first photo). They have the most otherworldly selection of all things linen. Like, sexy linen. Fifty Shades of Grey linen. In all shapes and sizes. Ok, thus ends my interlude.
P.S. Oh, but also: I don't feel like bath linens warrant their own interlude, so I'll just tack onto the end here—I upgraded to Coyuchi bath towels after Christmas and they're so money. In charcoal, so they go with my bed linens, duh. They're basically straight out of a goop newsletter. Oh, and speaking of a goop newsletter, if you'd like to buy these towels locally (you do) and ogle some midcentury dressers while you're at it (but of course) you can pick them up at Greenhouse & Co. on Atlantic Avenue.
