Lovely vintage find–very charming set of six hankies. These are quite a reminder of how much effort was put into making a simple item simply beautiful! All 6 are matching, all are hand embroidered–with a lavender gowned lady in the garden. The gown is fabric — delicately appliqued into place! The soft ecru ground is either linen or cotton–or a blend of the two fibers. The box is marked “Made in Ireland”. As shown, unused, a couple minor ‘age’ spots are visible. I think these are from the 40’s, maybe 50’s? I always thought these would make great details on something new–maybe a pocket–but time does get away!

I have collected for years–mostly items relating to my passion of sewing and making. As I am downsizing for retirement, I have decided to part with some items from my collections. Also, I am always looking for the unique vintage find to share–all geared toward creativity. Hopefully you will find these items as inspiring as I have and want to use in your own creations.
