Before I read your description I thought it was a clothespin bag. I love vintage hankies and have a small collection. I like your "Walk the Room" idea, Jenny, and especially having a list to go to when I have some spare time available. There is something motivating about a list like that. I've been slowly working on decluttering our home. So far I've gotten through clothes, books/magazines, cosmetics and some odds and ends decor. I'm getting kind of addicted to giving things away! :) A Joyful Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08604235087317891071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-91288961624279762902017-03-25T13:26:44.676+10:002017-03-25T13:26:44.676+10:00Jenny, I have been thinking of you with the cyclon...Jenny, I have been thinking of you with the cyclone forming in the Coral Sea. I will be praying for your safety. I have a very sick friend up there plus a couple of cousins so I hope it makes landfall in a less populated area or an area not populated at all would be better. These things are unpredictable as we know and I am sure everyone up there knows the drill and is as prepared as possible. I arrived in Townsville the night before Cyclone Larry hit as I was visiting for my daughter's Uni graduation and I know how terrified I was all night in a strange city knowing a cyclone was going to hit the coast. Stay safe.

I can recall my maternal grandmother had one, and it was always filled with neatly ironed hankies (I actually had my first ironing lesson on ironing my grandfathers hankies) and he also had a a very masculine checked hankie bag. Whist I have some of my grandmothers hankies, the hankie bags (which used to hang on a hook in the bathroom, where we got one out before leaving the house, or when we got dressed each morning), did not survive the years, and I had totally forgotten about them until I saw your post. I foresee a lovely stitchery in the future utilizing some vintage handkerchiefs and an appropriate design. I will have to make myself one to hang in the cupboard for my hankies. A nicely ironed hankie is so much nicer than a tissue. My grandmother always had lavender in her hankie bag, and camphor in granddads hankie bag. We always knew where to put the hankies after ironing them, and where to go if we had a cold for a clean hankie. Thank you for dredging that memory from the recesses of my mind, I can still smell them, and the scent always went through the washing.<br />LMMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09473118721499335846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-33604324567913246862017-03-25T10:44:27.549+10:002017-03-25T10:44:27.549+10:00Ha, ha, declutter tips?

I either need a permanent secretary following me around (okay, a robot would do perfectly!), or I need a house twice this size. AND a robot following me around! That is a darling little handkerchief bag, and I can't believe it came so inexpensively!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-10197427194504763952017-03-25T09:34:52.515+10:002017-03-25T09:34:52.515+10:00Now that walk the room will come in handy as almos...Now that walk the room will come in handy as almost every room in the house needs something doing.

No one I know uses hankies any more but it sure would make a great gift for someone who does! Hubby and I, both being disabled, take care of the house and the outside chores together. Which is really a great way for us, we recently began a notebook filled with a daily priorities list and it does great some days and some days not so great. I will discuss with him your suggestion and see if he would like to give it a try. I will be keeping you and your family in my prayers along with others who will be facing the Cyclone. May the Lord watch over each and everyone of you!

I store mine folded in a bureau drawer.<br /><br />Thank you for the updated printable. I thought about this the other day when my hubby and I were just talking about the different rooms in our house and what we would like to do.<br /><br />I will be praying for you and everyone else in the path of the cyclone.<br />Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04645682764289982809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-46094626806489762082017-03-24T22:22:14.720+10:002017-03-24T22:22:14.720+10:00Your new hankies and their little bag are sweet. ...Your new hankies and their little bag are sweet. :) I have been thinking lately of going through my house and asking, if I had a limited amount of money after a house fire, would I replace _________? Maybe that would help me narrow down my favorites in some of the areas that I keep too much. I added you to my planner so I would remember to pray for you this weekend. Thank you for your posts. They always encourage me!Tricia Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03234452777402519933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-89940567317960894592017-03-24T21:51:48.288+10:002017-03-24T21:51:48.288+10:00Oh dear!

I have never seen a hankie bag like that before. My mum loves her hankies but I don't think she has a hankie keeper. Hmmmm, now there's an idea for Mothers Day! Decluttering, LOL, I am having enough trouble trying to clean out one drawer a week. By the time I am finished I have to start on the first one again. My sewing room is a big problem. I am in awe of the way your sewing room is kept so neat and tidy.
