#12 Counting Calories


Cotton, hand rolled, Burmul Original.

Nothing like blowing your nose into a handkerchief and simultaneously being reminded that an oyster is 50 calories - which seems a little low to me.

#7 Naval Hankie



Silk, Cutwork, Probably my oldest item.

This piece is from the early 1900's. The silk is filmy and see-through. The pink edging has cutwork done. Count only 46 stars on the flag.
