K, so this is the first time I've participated in a Show & Tell on my blog. I saw it on someone else's blog and thought, hey, I got stuff to show, right?I've been collecting hankies for years. They're pretty, cheap to collect, easy to find and some are so intricate.
I love the purple ones, don't have too many, they're harder to find.
Pastels & Flowers
Pinks, with a butterfly added in.
Don't forget men's hankies, so boring...hehe
I have a bunch of white and cream ones with gorgeous lace.
Love the ones embroidered with 'Mother'.
Some are still labeled and attached to the original packaging paper.
These are my travel hankies from different states and countries.
No I haven't travelled to all of them, but I can dream!
My yellow hankies.
Reds are so classy.
I actually cut up a hankie to add to this lampshade.
Spikey is never far away when his mama has the camera out.
Just to think that someone actually took the time to dress these little pieces of fabric!
Amazing! I love the colours.
Again, he has to be in the middle of the action!
Love our Spikey.
I'm in the process of collecting the whole alphabet with monogrammed hankies and plan on putting together a tablecloth with them. I've got a hankie for each letter except I, O, Q, U, X, Y and Z. I'll probably have to fashion my own for the missing letters.
In the mean time, I'll keep hunting!

What an amazing collection of hankies. I'm impressed! My vintage hanky apron show & tell is up. Do stop by. I'll even fix you a plate of my Just Peachy Cobbler. :D
