Hanky Day #5

The winner of hanky #5 is comment #13, Karrieann. Congratulations and I'll be watching for your mailing information in my email!

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

I can comment from home but not from work which suggests some kind of firewall difference. From work I can comment if I use the name/url option in the identity box. Some people have been able to comment using the anonymous option. I would have waited on this had I known we would have these problems but we're almost done! Remember you have to comment each day for that specific hanky. I use the random number generator before I go to bed so I guess you would say it's a limited time offer!


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.

This hanky is average size and has a rolled hem edge. The colors feel very vintage to me, kind of a shabby chic feel to it. We're getting near the end now. Only one more hanky!

  5. Hmmm, this hanky begs for a white edging with a splash of color from beads. (Just my opinion.) As I am expecting an order of lovely beads to arrive any day, I think I will throw my name into the hanky hat for this!

  9. I do like Isdihara's idea... white lace, redish beads! Or an HDT that has the red and aqua in it, maybe with WHITE beads... Gee, does this sound like YOU, Fox?! teehee :-) ~Tatikan/Sher

    I am able to comment at work, but at home I can't comment using Firefox. If I switch to IE, I can comment - weird!!

  11. The turquoise does give it a 1950s feel I wonder how hard it would be to match that color? I'd like to try!
