Ithaca Places Tea Towel

A$24.00

Who knew local history could also dry the dishes?

Our limited-edition Paddington Then & Now tea towel celebrates the many names; old and new; that have been attached to our little patch of Brisbane over the years. From Ithaca and Green Hills to Back o’ the Gaol, Redjacket Swamp, Torwood and beyond, it’s a roll call of the neighbourhoods, hills, corners and curious old local names that make our area’s history so wonderfully interesting.

Printed locally in Brisbane on 100% cotton, these black tea towels are practical enough for the kitchen, handsome enough to hang on the wall, and educational enough to settle the occasional argument about where Cobbler’s Flats actually was.

Best of all, every purchase supports Paddington Then & Now.

We’re currently researching and writing a beautiful coffee-table book celebrating the history, people, places, photographs and stories of our local area. We’re a community project, so proceeds from these tea towels will help us cover the very real costs involved in researching, preparing and ultimately publishing the book.

Only 50 have been printed, so once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Buy one for your kitchen, your favourite former Paddingtonian, the local-history tragic in your life (or that person who insists they live in Paddington when everyone knows they’re really in Red Hill)

  • $24 each

  • 100% cotton

  • Screen printed locally in Brisbane

  • Convenient corner hangers

  • Limited edition of 50

  • Proceeds support the Paddington Then & Now book project

Dry a dish. Save some history. Help us make a book.
