This past Christmas I received a set of beautifully stitched hand embroidered towels from my Grandma, and since receiving them I have been on the hunt for the perfect way to display them. I searched high and low for months, trying to find just the right thing. Typing in different keywords and searching outside the box...well one day I found a few pins on Pinterest that were perfect...and they used..of all things...a vintage cheese grater! In the first pin, they hung homemade candles from the handle and put flowers in the top. In the second pin they had a regular towel hanging by the handle...So I merged the two ideas in my mind. The only thing left to do was track down a vintage cheese grater! You would think that task alone would be easy, but it was harder than I thought! I even looked for the 'vintage looking' cheese graters at Hobby Lobby, but they didn't have any left. I'd begun thinking I would need to haunt the Senior Estates garage sales this Summer. Then about two weeks ago, I was having lunch with my Grandma and I told her about my idea. I didn't want her to think I didn't love and appreciate her hand stitched towels. Guess what? She had a cheese grater she was willing to part with!
See you soon!
