For embellishing a simple cotton terry towel, you can quite easily add a hand knitted lace edging as I've done with mine. Have a look at {My Towels with Knitted Lace} here below. The magazine from which I made them will be shown mid-way. Those heavenly soaps I found at T.J. Maxx stores, one of my favorites to shop for such items. Are you also checking them frequently?
And of course using our fragrant flowers, our Gardenias...
Using cotton bouclé yarns created this result.
Both cotton yarns are in an off white or cream.
You also could use bamboo yarn.
Gardenias make a perfect and romantic addition.
Gardenia Floral Luxury Soap.
Such fragrant soaps I always keep in my linen armoire.
Eco friendly use, as they don't produce empty plastic bottles for the landfill!
A very fragrant duo, Gardenia soap with real Gardenias...
From the Dutch Ariadne magazine...
Laces as edgings.

Gardenia scented candle by Crabtree & Evelyn
Gardenia Florals Luxury Soaps that I also found at T.J. Maxx...
The two different yarns in detail.
you make everything so ladylike and dainty. in my house, i'd be afraid to use them. :)
ReplyDeleteThe edgings look so soft. These pretty towels would be lovely in a guest room along with the beautiful soaps. Or for a gift. I love these. xx

I love everything from Crabtree and Everlyn. My dear daughter and I can't get enough from there. I so like knitted lacy edgings on hand towels. I have one only and as soon as it's off the line it's back on the bathroom vanity. With the gardenias its just lovely. xx

Liebe Mariette,
ReplyDeletegestrickte Spitze sieht man selten, meist ist sie gehäkelt. Das sieht ganz zauberhaft und romantisch aus und passt prima zu den schönen Seifen und Blüten.
Liebe Grüße, Johanna

Leuk idee om die randjes aan de handdoeken te haken. Helaas heb ik af en toe te weinig tijd om zo'n mooie dingen te maken. Ik ben een vest aan het haken en hoop het voor de vakantie af te hebben.

Je handdoeken zien er prachtig uit Mariette! Door het randje hebben ze een hele andere uistraling gekregen. Ze zien erg luxueus uit!
