One of my very favorite vintage treasures are the dainty handkerchiefs from days gone by. I adore everything about these little beauties. Their soft delicate colors, the darling trim that adorns the edges, the charming embroidery--some with initials others with sweet flowers. Even though these little treasures aren't used often in todays world, I still find them to be enchanting. I have purchased many from estate sales and flea markets and my collection still grows. It seemed a shame to keep them hidden from view in their storage boxes. So I came up with the idea to fashion tiny pieces of some of my favorites into soldered charms. I wanted to share a few with you tonight that I just completed for my etsy shop. Each featuring a vintage handkerchief on one side and a sweet sentiment on the other. A nice keepsake from the past.....
