Notes Set of seven embroidered 'Monday to Sunday' tea towels, c1950s-1960s. Made by Mrs Ina A Sodersten, of Ngaruawahia, for use in planned post-retirement 'dream home'. Following their retirement in 1975 Mr and Mrs Sodersten moved to their 'dream home' in Rotorua, but in fact the tea towels were not used much as they were "too good" for everyday use.
