Mom sent a box. I had no clue what was inside. Calendar tea towels! She said she knew of no one else who would appreciate them more than me.
Each year Mom bought Grandma a calendar tea towel for Christmas with the date. Three of them are my favorites. I love Vera!
You probably know why this one is my very favorite.
Hippie Love!

Thanks Mom for being the keeper of treasures and passing them on to me.

Those are so AWESOME Stephanie! Your Mom is the best. My favorite - 1969 - the year I graduated from high school. I actually shared a Vera scarf with my sister.
i love vera too! have yet to find dishes by her but keep hunting! i didnt know she had the calenders too. i found a nice table cloth and linin napkins of hers and of course lots of scarves... enjoy your day! love your calenders!
Those are real treasures. They so go back in time. Lucky you to have a mom who saved things like this!
I recently bought a Vera tea towel and I am trying to figure a way to include it in a quilt. I love Vera too.
Great that these were kept in the family. I can't wait to see what you do with them.
How terrific that your mother kept these. I love the patterns and colors on them!
Oh, 1968 was my year!!!
Fantastic colors and I´ll guess that if I ewer saw it It must have been like eyecandy for a little three years old girl;-)
very groovy! I look for those when I go to antique stores. My mom is collecting them and going to make a quilt with them, one day.
Your mom sends the best boxes!!!
How fun. 1969 must be the year you were born.
Fun and colorful :)
I remember those tea towel calenders! And 1968 was my year. (HS graduation) My mom used to get one every year, but she never got any Vera ones! Or any groovy ones either. How cool that your mom kept these! I think I've got a few of my Mom's calenders hiding in the linen closet still! Must look...
Now those were the "good old days!"
My Mom had to get one of those just like them every single year. For a very long time that was one of the gifts I'd give her each Christmas. She hung hers on the wall in the kitchen near the refrigerator under the big really ugly clock she had in there. LOL Sadly, she's gone now and in going through all her things I never did run across any so she must've tossed them every year.
Love the comments so far! Looks like there are a lot of Vera fans out there a lot of "kindred spirits" in those years! Your mom is a peach!
Cheers!
Your Mom is a sweetheart to have kept all those treasures!
What a fun box! I love the colors Vera used. Somewhere around here I have a Vera scarf, I think. Will you use these as cloths or just keepsakes?
Mothers are best!
That is wonderful! My mother in law gives us the same exact thing every Christmas as well. Maybe I should be saving them too! But I must say they aren't as "groovy and hip" as yours.
I LOVE these! You really need to make a table runner or wall hanging out of them!
What a great mom!
Love your calendar towels, esp. that yellow one.

ZOMG! I collect calendar tea towels too. I thought I was the only one.
What a treasure. I love 1969 (the year is was born)
These are so cool. My favorite is even from the year I was born. Thanks for sharing these treasures.
These are awesome! I have a huge collection of vera scarves... I've never found the tea towels!!! LOVE these!
