vintage handkerchiefs

my next obsession:

vintage handkerchiefs.  i have always loved them.  dishtowels, handkerchiefs, aprons.  i love them all.

but i especially love how you spell handkerchiefs, as opposed to saying it.

try it.  spelling first:

hand  ker  chiefs

now say it:

hank  r  chiffs

just funny, the english language.  no wonder its so hard for people to master it.  

i digress.

i found some cute handkerchiefs on a darling website i thought i would share:

they are definitely not for blowing your nose!

more of the frameable type.

i especially love the state handkerchiefs.
