My latest "find" is Vintage Handkerchiefs at Yard Sales...
Love, Love, Love how dainty and almost forgotten these treasures are !
They are so inexpensive and can usually be had for a mere 10 cents or a quarter.
As soon as I get them home, I soak them in a sink with dish soap
for about an hour, rinse them and then place them on a towel
and roll the towel tight to remove excess water.

They are then ironed and rolled onto a cardboard tube,
which keeps them wrinkle free until I am ready to use them.

Some of the Handkerchiefs have tatting,
crochet edging or hand embroidery on them.

My favorite use for these Handkerchiefs is to use them
to top my canned goods, when I give them as gifts.

Canned Cherries, Peaches, Spiced Pears...
all topped with a Vintage Handkerchief.
Have a beautiful day...
