Wishing everyone love, happiness and health in 2011.

Just finishing up at a photo shoot for Happy Hanky and thought I would share one of the shots with you! I love how a professional photographer can capture the color and texture of the handkerchiefs. It really shows the uniqueness of each handkerchief !  

 

I love wearing Happy Hanky handkerchiefs as bracelets! Many of you have probably seen me rocking the hanky bracelet at events…usually with a fun brooch attached. Louis Vuitton is going retro with their own version of the handkerchief bracelet with a gold clasp. I like their take but I have to admit that I love the idea of picking out my own handmade Happy Hanky and looking for a vintage brooch to clip in the middle! I know I’m partial to my own line but, my frugal ladies, one Louis Vuitton handkerchief bracelet costs $125 and a Happy Hanky handkerchief bracelet costs $15!

I’ve received many requests for smaller hankies for children so I decided to sew some styles that are super cute and super stylish for the little ones!
