Final Hanky Giveaway Day!

The winner of the final hanky giveaway is #14, Ridgewoman. Congratulations Bev! Please send me your mailing information.

Blogger has a known issue with some people/blogs and comments. If you are having a problem commenting here for the hanky giveaway, please email me personally and I will make sure you are included. ginab6 at yahoo dot com

See yesterday's post for more commenting tips.


The Hanky Fairy aka Garden Gnome suggested I give away some of those printed hankies to people who will actually do something with them so I decided this week I would give away a hanky a day. I have six hankies so there will be a new giveaway for six days.

So here's how it works: I will post a new hanky each day and if you are interested, just leave a comment. You can comment on any hanky you're interested in and overseas commenters are welcome. These are pretty easy to mail. I'll use the random number generator to pick a number though I won't be bothering with screen snapshots of the result. It just takes more time than I'm willing to put into it. Make sure I have a way to contact you. I'll update the previous day's entry with the winner's name. I will probably wait until the end and send them all out at once.

All the hankies are freshly laundered, lightly starched and pressed. They are different sizes but I forgot to measure them before I packaged them. Yep, they are packaged and ready to go! Two are embroidered rather than printed on and one is neither printed nor embroidered and is smaller than the others.

And here is the last one! This one is quite a bit smaller than any of the others and is a very pale blue. It has a narrow nylon lace edging that you could remove or tat into the holes of it to attach your own lace. Since it is so small and undecorated, I've included a few bonus items. They will be a surprise.

  4. This plain hanky looks to have potential for elaborate edging. The existing edging will be good for attaching a tatted one. Hmm...

    This would be a great one for me to tat an edging on. It seems to be a size that could actually be used and not take up too much room in the pocket. Or it would make a lovely doily. Possibilities are endless! Karen in OR

  14. It could actually be harder to decide what to do on this one--an unlimited possibility for design, color, etc. Put my name in the pot again please. All of this 'hanky fever' is fun. It has reawakened my interest in edgings.

  15. Oh goody! LOL I’m going to Embroider a Z, or perhaps even Zella in script; and, add to the existing ‘lace’. So far I’ve completed enough edgings for 2 prs. of her socks, in white. But doing some in pink, yellow and green also.
    I found such cute baby/toddler clothes on ZuLilly and just went nuts! Think I bought a wardrobe of differing sizes!
    Oh MY Complete with head bands: I’m tatting flowers for the head bands. I like tatting the edgings because they are pretty quick. I seem to need instant gratification! LOL
    Thanks so much for putting my name in the generator and for offering up your hankies.
    hugs, bev aka Ridgewoman
