Just a short post because I forgot how difficult it was to do tinternet stuff with my daughter at home!
I was really please to pick up this huge bundle of pretty lacy handkerchiefs. They may not be to everyones taste, but I intend to give some to Ruby (my daughter currently takes one of her Dad's HUGE hankies everywhere with her, so these will be a little more suitable); some I will use as they happily have my initials; some will be used for making lavender sachets (we have loads left over from our trip to the lavender farm); and I fancy having a go at a patchwork panel. My friend made a cafe curtain out of old lace hankies an it looked beautiful.
They've all had a good soaking in whitener an are now all hanging pristine on the line. There's 30 + of them, so a total steal at £2 the lot.
I also picked up this box of scented drawer liners to complete my granny chic over-haul. Actually, to be fair I won't be fragrancing my smalls with them, but the paper is so pretty I can use it for crafts, to make cards an for wrapping paper. 20p bargain!
Did you pick up any second-hand treasures? I'd love you to grab the badge and link up.
Wow I can see some beautiful hanky bunting coming on!
ReplyDeleteHanky bunting would be lovely wouldn't it? I'd have to hang it high though or a certain little person would be having cheeky wipes! That's not a good look! x
Deleteoooh so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI was delighted to get them x
DeleteSo so pretty! Love the drawer liners! x
ReplyDeleteThey are really lovely, and although they do smell nice I physically can't fit anything more in my drawers, not even a wafer thin piece of paper!
DeleteThey're gorgeous, and what a total find to pick them up as a bundle. I have dreams about making a patchwork table runner from my collection of handkerchiefs and doillies but the collection may be 10 years older by the time I get round to it!
ReplyDeleteOh a table runner would be gorgeous.
DeleteOoh, a hanky curtain sounds fab! xx
ReplyDeleteIt looks so pretty. x
DeleteI love vintage hankies and have quite a collection. Thanks for hosting.

I so rarely see them, I'd really like some of the 70s children's ones with nursery rhymes that I had as a kid.
DeleteThe floral pattern on the drawer liners is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteIt's such a gorgeous design x
DeleteGranny Chic - what a great category. Thanks for hosting.

I'm all over the granny chic!
DeleteThey're so pretty - almost too nice to blow your nose with!
ReplyDeleteYes, maybe but more... err... green (not a great choice of words, given my daughter's nose currently) than tissues ;0)
DeleteI like the idea of lavender pouches. Very cool
ReplyDeleteIt's on my (ever-growing) list! x
DeleteI grab vintage hankies whenever I find them!
