\nHotel Souvenirs<\/div>\n

\nOK, \u2018fess up.  Who,
\namong you out there, never placed a \u201csouvenir\u201d from your hotel room into your
\ncarry-on luggage?  I have taken a huge
\nnumber of shampoos, soaps and lotions, after all, I figure I truly have paid
\nfor these.  Also add stationery and
\nthose coffee singles.  But I honestly
\ndraw the line with bathrobes and towels. 
\nAnd who in their right mind would want those dubious blankets. (I think
\ncrisp white duvets have revolutionized hotel d\u00e9cor, not to mention
\ncleanliness)  <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nI came across these vintage towels in a basket of assorted
\nlinens  If you look closely, you may be
\nable to see the logo of the Plaza Hotel of NYC in the damask weave..  <\/div>\n

\nBefore terry-cloth towels, bath and hand towels were woven
\nlinen or cotton.  It wasn\u2019t until after
\nWWI when returning soldiers told of the lush bath towels in Europe that manufacturers
\nbegan producing the loop surface towels we now purchase.  In the beginning, though, this fabric was
\nprone to snagging. When a looped was pulled or snagged it created a \u201crun\u201d with
\nthe background fabric showing through. 
\nI\u2019m sure you have all seen this in cheap terry fabric.  There has been improvement is the manufacturing
\nprocess which eliminates this problem.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
