In the Victorian language of flowers, the cherry blossom means new beginnings, a celebration of fresh starts and the beauty of spring. This delicate cherry blossom branch was painted in watercolor by artist Meredith Raiford Akins and printed on a generously sized white 100% cotton flour sack tea towel.
Part of the Language of Flowers collection, this lovely towel features a cherry blossom branch in soft pink and white in the center display on crisp white cotton, its scientific name on the bottom right-hand side, and its translation into floriography, 'new beginnings,' on the bottom left. It brings a fresh touch of spring to any kitchen.
A thoughtful gift for a new home, a wedding, a graduation, a new baby, or any fresh start.
Details
- 100% cotton flour sack tea towel, white
- 27" x 27" — generously sized for everyday use or display
- Pre-washed and pre-shrunk, so it holds its size wash after wash
- Original botanical watercolor, hand-painted by Meredith Raiford Akins
- Victorian flower meaning: "New Beginnings"
- Soft, absorbent, lint-free, and durable
All towels are pre-washed and pre-shrunk so you don’t have to worry about fading or warping with time. They are made with a specialty printer that allows the ink to be embedded into the fabric rather than set on top of it. This further protects the artwork with use and gets rid of that unwanted sheen that sometimes comes across in similar towels.
Care
Machine wash cold and tumble dry low.
