I found one new hankie with the 45 cent tag still on it from Halle Brothers in Cleveland, where my Mom worked as a young woman back in the thirties.

I have three handkerchief boxes, two wooden and one cloth covered. I guess everybody in my family must have collected hankies.

Sorry about your silky mishap..

My Family collected home made crochet Doilies, made by my GM and her GM.

Remember them on the back and over the arms of GM's favorite chair or on top of a dresser or chest?

Oh, I've got doilies, too. And runners, tablecloths, embroidered towels, napkins, pillowcases with lace and/or embroidery, pillow covers (for throw pillows), you name it. I've got enough doilies to doily every piece of furniture in my house twelve times, including the microwave and the cat boxes.

Yup, I got a great mental image of that one. My cat would look at that and say to himself "what the....?"

I wish I still had the *brandy cozy* my mom used to have. It was a crochet bottle cover that looked like a poodle.



I wonder if that's why she named her poodle Brandy?
