Absolutely beautiful - very very clever way of displaying lovely old pieces.

Thanks Scrappy Cat for your nice compliments. I love your old hat pins. What a wonderful treasure you have. I remember my grandmother had a ton of old broaches. I don't have any of them but I do have her old parfume bottles which I cherish. I love everything old. Including my husband. heehee.

Great idea. I will post my pattern. Since I'm still a "new user" please tell me where to post it. Do patterns post under topics? I would love to share with everyone. It was super easy. I'm thinking about making a few more with different color themes. I think lavender hankies would be beautiful. Another idea is to make one with Christmas hankies to hang for the holidays. You could attach your Christmas cards around the border. Maybe I'll have to collect a few. Thank you for your nice compliments.

Yours is the nicest piece with hankies that I've seen. I have a lot of hankies, most of which I got when I was teaching teaching Kindergarten. The one hanky is one that I carried when we got married. Maybe your piece will be the one to get me started. Thanks for sharing.
