We love pretty, clever, well-designed tea towels; they can be bright aids to washing up, or inexpensive art for the kitchen. Here's our latest favorite, a replica of an original 1940s sign.
Ancient Industries, the quirky little shop where we found this towel, says that the sign was originally displayed in a cafeteria in England.
We like the message! Maybe we'll hang this on our dining room wall...
Find it: A Real Eye Opener Tea Towel, $15 at Ancient Industries
The design, by the way, comes via British salvage company Trainspotters, and you can find a poster version of the design at their website.

OK, this towel creeps me out, because it reminds me of the giant eyes on the T.J. Eckleburg billboard in .
Er, that would be, in The Great Gatbsy. Ahem.
