So, one of my first blog posts was a display of framed vintage hankies that I saw in a cottage at Crystal Beach. I knew I had to duplicate them. Well, thanks to some bargain frames from the Christmas Tree Shops, some vintage hankies from Mom's and a few from the antique store next to my hairdresser ... Voila!
Aren't they beautiful above my bed? I starched them and got them all in the frames on Sunday and had them all laid out on my family room floor. I cut newspaper out and taped the layout above my bed, but couldn't drag Nick away from the football games to hang them up. But, low and behold, I came home from work yesterday and there they were in all their glory!
How pretty, Ann! I love the angle you chose, really draws your eye in.

Hey, second comment from the Funky Junk blog. I just had to see what you had. Love the hankies, I have tons of them. I was going to make a quilt someday.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Nutbird. I am new to this. Always appreciate suggestions.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea!! I always see cute hankies and think "no, I will NOT buy these since I have no real way of using them." No more...I'm gonna start searching for some and copying you. :)
ReplyDeleteHi, how did you get them to lay flat? What is under them?
ReplyDeleteI have been collecting pretty embroidered and printed hankies. Your project is very nice and well done.
