Embroidered Pumpkin Hand Towel – Light Green

Gold embroidered pumpkins on soft green, sized generously at 28 by 21 inches. The embroidery is worked in thread rather than printed, so the pumpkins sit slightly raised and catch light the way the coordinating pillow and runner do.

The powder room is where guest towels earn their keep. It's the one place in the house someone stands alone for a minute, and swapping in something seasonal takes ten seconds and is the thing people notice. This also works folded over an oven door handle or a kitchen rail, where the scale reads more like a tea towel.

Handcrafted, so the embroidery varies slightly from one to the next. Part of the same embroidered pumpkin group as the 20" pillow and the 72" runner — use all three and the rooms speak to each other without matching too hard.

Why Katie loves it: "The guest bath is the room everyone forgets and every guest sees. A pretty towel is the smallest possible effort and it always gets mentioned. Mine go out in September and stay through Thanksgiving."
