julie adoreCamping?? I hate the back to nature bathrooms!!
BeechbabyMy favorite part of camping is s’mores…I believe the reason why is obvious. Love these tea towels!
Gina HyamsLove this work! I checked out the shop, and I adore the cap original fabrics! I would love to make pillows out of the fabric with the little campers!
My favorite part of camping is the smell. I know it’s weird, but tents and sleeping bags, lifejackets- they have a nostalgic scent to me. And I adore the smell of a campfire.

AlexLove Leanne Graeff’s shop! so sweet. i think my fave is the camper original fabric, from the camp series. it is awesome, i can imagine so many cute things to make from it!!
lesley [smidgebox designs]we love to camp, but like to do it in comfort 😉 cushy mattress, nice linens, good food…so usually it’s great! my least fave part is the inevitable dampness you feel when camping in the pacific northwest, whether it’s raining or not.
lesley [smidgebox designs]The worst part about camping is packing and unpacking. Oh, to be a kid again where all you have to do is show up and stay out of the way. 🙂
Those towels are too cute!
Cheryl OBut! my favorite over at Leann’s is the tractor printed items. It reminds me of my parents ranch land.
Cheryl OGorgeous shop, I love it!
vadjutkaMy fave item is the tractor tea towel – so funny!

My favourite thing about camping is, that you can leave civilisation behind, in a cultural sense as well. And it is a very good and effective way of discovering others and yourself: how you (and others) react in situations, when civilisation (like comfort, towns etc) are not there to help you.
My least favourite thing about camping is when insects try to sleep with me :-).
vadjutkacustom house on a tea towel?! bliss. amazing.
Barbarafavorite part of camping – the full embrace and being in nature. all five senses enjoying it.
Barbaraleast favorite – MOSQUITOs. how i wish they didn’t care for me!!
Least favorite thing about camping – trying not to pee on poison oak/ivy. Favorite thing is cooking on the fire.

1) I like her My Heart is Yours tea towel. This would make a nice gift for my Grandmother whose birthday falls around Valentine’s Day.
2) The best part about camping is:
Eating a stove-cooked meal after a long day of hiking, watching the sunset, sitting around the campfire talking or making music, and looking up at the stars.
It fills you with love for life.
Great giveaway!
MegsMy favorite part about camping is the food! It always seems to taste better when you haven’t showered in three days…
adriennei LOVE camping…everything about it. i guess my favorite part is hanging out with my friends in the woods, acting like we’re at summer camp and dreading going back home.
alisonhow cute is red tractor tea towel & tote? in love!
my camping high & low.
high would be bonfires.& smores. mmmmm.
my camping low is waking up in the hot hot tent in the morning!
anna
anna d.My husband and I (along with 3 dogs and a love bird) go camping at least every 2 months around Florida. It is only time I actually sit and do nothing. So I guess that is my favorite thing about camping…doing nothing.
pami loved the camper print fabric so much that i had to buy it!
brandeyealso, my favorite part about camping is the smell of the campfire.
My favourite thing about camping is taking my Nephew to places he’s never been. Get him out of the city and away from his mom. Let him be a little boy. We lay under trees, catch frogs, photograph mushrooms at his request, and I teach him the basics of life. Camping is a priviledge that some can only hope for.
JillRachelLovely giveaway my fingers are crossed. I love the house portrait tea towel sooo pretty . Helen
helenI absolutely love the camper print! It looks just like the camper that my fiance just brought home from his grandparent’s in Pennsylvania! The thing I love most about camping is the fishing I get to do while I’m outdoors!
AmeliaI love camping because you refuse many many usual materials you use everyday, become natural as born and so get relaxed, totally.
JustinaLove the Camper – Camp Series- Original Fabric- Fat Quarter. The colors are wonderful and the pattern is too cute!
HeidiMy favorite part of camping is the smell of a bonfire. There is nothing in the city that can equal the smell of smoke and nature.
My least favorite part? Lack of decent washroom facilities. Sorry, but I have much love and respect for indoor plumbing!
Heidivery pretty things in this shop…my favorites are the My Heart is Yours tea towel, the House Next Door fabric, and the custom house tea towels. so colorful and simple!
kristen k.my favorite thing about camping: how it brings groups of people together and tends to highlight each person’s strengths and know-how.

kristen k.I really love the tractor fabric. I think I would love pijamas made out of that fabric 🙂
OritI hate the bugs but I love the campfires!
MeganRed Tractors Linen Tea Towel! Being a country girl, I love this!
Jenna ZMy favorite part is the food! Smores! Hobo dinner! Anything you can roast on a stick! The smell of the campfire cooking your dinner is bliss!
Jenna ZI love all the fabrics in the fat quarters. How fun.
debbieMy least favorite part is how much stuff you have to haul with you! My favorite part is the togetherness.
debbieI like the tractor fabric!
Novamy favorite part of camping is sitting around the campfire and making s’mores, and staying up all night talking with flashlights in your tent. :]
Lizwhat a beautiful shop! i love the fabrics! such a lovely camping motif!
LizI love the hand printed linen tea towel — red tractor. I know my husband would be crazy about one of these.
Renee Grsgrandinetti@yahoo(dot)com
My favorite part about camping is waking up to the aroma of fresh brewed coffee. Although, I’m a tea drinker, I love the smell of coffee in the morning when we are out camping.

april brooksI like camping if there are real bathrooms I can use! No port a potty or just the woods please.
april brooksMy absolutely LOVE camping! We go to a different place every summer, we’ve been to South East Missouri (Sam Baker State Park), Stockton Lake in Missouri, South Dakota, Colorado, Arkansas, and lots of other places in Missouri (where we’re from). So I guess that is my favorite part of camping– getting to experience living with nature in different places!

dianosaurusLove the My Heart Is Yours Linen Tea Towels-such a pretty design.
Elaine RMy favorite part of camping is being away from the city and in the fresh air. Not favorite part of camping is the bugs and critters!
Elaine RI love Leanne’s block prints!!. Looks like some Christmas presents to me!! I thought the puppy love dish towel was my favorite until I spied the tractor!!! I grew up in a farm machine dealer family and love all the old farm machines, emplements and barns!!
LawreNow.. because I want new tea towels!!!.. on to the Camping.. I love being outdoors, the smells and the quiet at night, but don’t go camping any more- too old to tote all the stuff and then wake up all stiff from sleeping on the ground and tote it out.. But the worst part was always putting things away after having all that fun!! cooking over the open fire, gathering berries, keeping the beer cold in the stream.. All good!!
LawreI love her Hand Printed – Linen Tea Towel – My Heart is Yours! Adorable!
KatherineMy least favorite part of camping is the little to no showering. I’m a clean myself every day kind of girl! 🙂
KatherineTweet! http://twitter.com/ktkatherine/status/3780854613
KatherineI love the Puppy Love Tea Towel. We have a Westie of our own. (The dog on the towel might be a Scottie, I guess.)
NancyMy least favorite part of camping is the lack of civilized restroom accomodations (in some cases).
NancyPlease include me in the giveaway. I love tea towels. There are so many interesting prints. I like My Heart is Yours Tea Towel and also the tractor. I camped out many time with the Girl Scouts. I’ve never done it as an adult. I loved being in the woods and smelling the trees. The sounds and the peace is wonderful. Plus the smores are wonderful. The worse part is the bugs. I have tweeted about this contest. http://Twitter.com/makeupgirl21. Thank you.

Aikleave favorite: lack of bathrooms or if they have them, horribly dirty bathrooms!!! and if you have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. YIKES!

Shannon FinerMy favorite part of camping is having a meal cooked over a fire, because usually you are so tired and hungry by the time it’s done it is the best meal ever. My least favorite is not being able to bath – I feel super yucky.
HeatherI like the canvas totes – super adorable.
DianaMy least favorite part of camping is the bugs!
