This is what ended up coming home with me.
Don't you love how smooth and soft vintage hankies are after being washed a million times? I'm sure these have been ironed a million times too.
More vintage hankies. I adore them. I remember as a child always having a special hankie of my own and my Mom's empty lipstick tube to proudly tuck into my big girl purse.
They are a lost part of society now~~ with antibacterial liquid soap at every sink and fear of germs and the 21st century cootie boogie man lurking around every corner!!! It occurred to me that when people clean out "Grandma's house", some may just throw out stuff like this as they have no sentimental or modern use value. Others believe they do!

Vintage linens are a special weakness to me. I must confess to wanting to hoard them. However, now and then I gift one. Whenever I see them I MUST have them.
Me too---I go to garage sales or estate sales, and the first place I hit is the linens table! Beautiful hankies! Drool.
Smiles, Karen
