I just put out several linen hankies with handiwork on them.
Made me think about weddings for some reason...
Some have initials, some are floral patterned and some are plain with delicate edging. There is one with RAE embroidered in blue and there is one that is just
dark blue, rather plain, but has a simple beauty to it.
Last summer, a mother came in looking for a vintage hankie for her son to have in his pocket on his wedding day. It made me smile. I know this mom and I know her son. Appropriate! And, I bet it was used...he may have needed it himself, but I could also see him pulling it out and ever so softly wiping away a stray tear...
Vintage linen hankies...delicate reminders of another place and time.
