They were all given to me by my husband's grandmother, and they are so lovely, like yours. Except -- I don't have one with Kanga and Little Roo on it. That one is precious and so unique! I love your taco shell find :) It's perfect. When you come up with a permanent way to USE the hankies, please do share. Mine are squirreled away somewhere in a box, and really, they should be on display, as you say!M.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09205619221345704689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-76906894806807915502014-03-15T08:09:08.838-04:002014-03-15T08:09:08.838-04:00You have such a pretty collection.

I have a small number of vintage (grandma's) handkerchiefs. Some have stains that won't come out :( but I love them anyway. I have them with me in my purse for "light duty" (no messy stuff of course, yuck). Anyway, If I could've snatched them all (taco holder and all) from the screen, I surely would have! I love making things digitally with my photographed handkerchiefs. <br /><br />I so enjoyed your post. I love your hanky-holder and hankies! <br />Happy Pink Saturday!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-85134539833277938312014-03-08T15:16:09.874-05:002014-03-08T15:16:09.874-05:00My mom still uses those vintage hankies - I never ...My mom still uses those vintage hankies - I never could do that.....grew up on tissues, I guess. :) I love the old hankies for decorating though.....and yours are beautiful.

I can't imagine what work went into crocheting the edges of these hankies! When did mothers and grandmothers have time to do such things? I guess they weren't driving kids around or blogging!
