Do you ever just wish you could spruce up your house without spending a lot? Just something extra to make you smile? That was the intention behind the Serenity Hand Towel and Washcloth Set. Make it in your own colors and it will add a bit of peace and serenity to your space. Can be used for the kitchen towels just by changing the colors.
