A few months ago she picked up her embroidery hoop for the first time in years and made a few hand embroidered flour sack tea towels. She enjoyed it so much, she bought more towels. And more again. And early this summer, at 94, Mom began a new venture: Millie&#8217;s Tea Towels. We sell them for her on the Convivio Bookworks website and give her the full amount of each sale. It&#8217;s the biggest thrill for her when she sells one. For her 95th birthday, my goal is to give her a really big thrill&#8230; hence a special Convivio Bookworks sale this week (and one where you get the gift!):<\/p>\n<p><strong>Save $9.50 when you buy any four Millie&#8217;s Tea Towels (or one 7-day set), and get free domestic shipping, too!<\/strong> Use discount code <strong>HAPPYBIRTHDAY<\/strong> at the check out. Easy as pie! There are nearly a hundred different designs to choose from, and each big thirsty flour sack towel is embroidered by hand by Millie herself. It takes her about a day to embroider each one\u2013\u2013a process she just loves. <a href=\"https:\/\/conviviocatalog.conviviobookworks.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Click here to shop<\/strong><\/a>&#8230; you&#8217;ll find Millie&#8217;s Tea Towels in the new Linens &amp; Textiles part of our online catalog (along with some other fine new items).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.conviviobookworks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_6853.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-8185\" src=\"http:\/\/www.conviviobookworks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_6853-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.conviviobookworks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_6853-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/www.conviviobookworks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_6853.jpg 730w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Happy Birthday, Mom!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>That&#8217;s my mom, Millie, and on Saturday, it&#8217;s her 95th birthday.
