Hand Lettered Ernest Hemingway Quote Oyster Shucking Towel, Tea Towel, or Napkin | Literary Gift and Valentine's Day Gift for Foodies

In the first pages of A Moveable Feast, Ernest Hemingway's memoir of his time living in Paris, is printed one of the most beautiful literary passages ever written on the experience of enjoying oysters:

"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy and to make plans."

We partnered with Janice Reyes of Handmade Letters to interpret this evocative passage, and screen printed it on hand towels to be used in the kitchen, as napkins at the dining table, as hand protection when shucking your own oysters, a literary stocking stuffer, or even as gift wrap.

Enjoy this towel yourself, or give it to a friend. Be happy. Make plans.
