i am not a paper towel from modcloth

fancy a brew tea towel from mrPS on etsy

yummy! tea towel also found from mrPS on etsy

we've been going without paper towels for about a week now.  after we ran out, i decided we shouldn't just go buy more.  i like the idea of using pretty tea towels like the ones above instead. 

here's the thing : paper towels run out so darn fast, i use them when i don't really need to, and it just seems like such a waste.  so, i think we're going to try paper-towel alternatives from here on out, and hopefully we won't cave in.  tell me, friends, do any of you skip paper towels to avoid waste (and/or cost)?
