Achew! Good day Ladies and Happy Blue Monday! Today because I have another cold and stuffy head I decided to share with you a few BLUE hankie I recently got at a "thrift" sale! I have always wanted a monogramed hankie...and finally found one with the letter J. I also have a lovely little collection thanks to my BFF Vicki of other Hankies, one of which is the lovely blue hankie with the daisy print! In the vintage photo behind them is a pic of a gal waving her hankie, BUT ...lol..you know me, in my quest of the perfect picture I cropped it out! Perhaps when I finish the altered art "Hankie box" I intend it for I will share it again!And before I wave my hankie in a farewell gesture. I ask the following questions...Does anyone still really use their hankies? Well for anything besides decorating? And...why do you suppose they call them hankies? And of course , I could only ask after the big Valentines weekend..do Hankies have anything to do with Hankie-Pankey?????
When I was a little girl, I used my hankies. Now, I wouldn't dare. Thanks for sharing. Happy Blue Monday.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry you're under the weather, Jane! Hope you will feel much better very soon. Love that hankie with the blue "J". No pun intended. ;-)

I use hankies! Can't abide "tissues" with all their lint. I was lucky at some estate sales and found adorable hankies still in their boxes!
ReplyDeleteI do indeed think "hanky-panky" is derived from hanky---->"Handkerchief" -- I bet that term got started when Ladies, such as LADY JANE, would give their hankies to the naughty noblemen pursuing their fair charms...Oh Jane, I knew ye were involved SOMEHOW...
What a shame you got sick while your daughter was home...didn't she just fly in?
ReplyDeleteGot that no good, coughy, sneezy feeling?
Hmmmm, so does Jim! He's got the sneezy, grumpy, not so happy with me feeling that he always gets when sick..........hmmmmm.
Are you grumpy? hmmmmmm.
Hey, I got blush pink roses, and opal earrings, and supper at Outback!!! and you didn't........
did ya?
Hope you feel better soon...happy Blue Monday...love your hanky!
ReplyDeleteI love your hankies. I remember my grandmother and her friends giving each other beautiful hankies with their birthday cards. I guess that tissues are for using and hankies are for viewing. Happy Blue Monday.

I only use my hankies for decorating..I have quite a collection. I specially like the ones with tatted or crocheted edgeing. Yours are so pretty. Happy Blue Monday and have a lovely week.

Thanks for the kind words on my first Blue post. I really appreciate it. You're always welcome!

Your hankie is very pretty. I have a small collection that has been in a drawer since I was a child. I did use them back then. The idea now makes me gag.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry you are under the weather with a cold. They are so aggravating!
ReplyDeleteLove the beautiful blue and white hanky, just beautiful. I remember my mother teaching us to carry TWO hankies when we were children, "One for show, and one for blow!"
Ah, I wish I had some of those old hankies now; they were so pretty.
Get better soon!
