Vintage Hankies -- Flea Market Finds
Hubby and I stopped at one of our favorite little flea markets today on our way home from breakfast...(later I will add some pics of Nick's.. we love the place!) ... and I found some hankies all neatly ironed and folded, then placed inside a small wooden box. When I saw the handmade one shown on the bottom, I had to have them. When we got home and I opened them all up, these are some of the ones I found. I thought perhaps someone who is more up on textiles than I am, could give me an idea how old they are. I had never seen any with the "iron on" of Thumper. The colors and fabric of the floral ones make me think they are from the late '40s or maybe '50s.I bought them especially for use on my denim bag or perhaps on my apron, but now that I have them I'm not sure I have the strength of will to cut them up!
