I am back from my first family vacation to Williamsburg, VA! We had such a great time….visited some historic places, ate in some fabulous little cafes & restaurants, visited a beautiful winery and unique shops. Thank goodness I brought a stack of Happy Hanky handkerchiefs to blot my brow because it was hottt! These are some of my favorite pictures from our trip. I was so inspired by the lovely gardens and cottages that were speckeled all around Colonial Williamsburg and the lovely embroidered items that our ancestors created hundreds of years ago! Hope everyone is having a great summer - have a glass iced tea and enjoy Saturday!

I’m super excited because I just posted my first Happy Hanky handkerchief video on YouTube! I know, I know that’s so 5 years ago…but check it out and send me a comment!

Have a Happy Valentines Day! I love this holiday because it’s one of the only days that I can eat chocolate with my morning coffee and not feel guilty! Thank you to my husband for the delicious chocolate covered pretzels and roses…..wouldn’t it be great to start every day off like this?!

These super cute cookies are decorated in the shape of wedding handkerchiefs! Rolling Pin Productions designed these monogrammed cookies based on a collection of Victorian handkerchiefs. How darling would it be to present each special woman in your life with a Happy Hanky and one of these wedding handkerchief cookies monogrammed with their initial?!  The wedding handkerchiefs are perfect for Wedding, Bridal Shower or Tea favors. These Wedding Monograms can be decorated with plain, sugared, gold or silver letters and can be color-coordinated for your event or to match one of the Happy Hanky handkerchiefs.

Today is the first day of fall and so starts the fall wedding season! Nothing brings on tears like a romantic, fall wedding which is why Wedding Handkerchiefs are such an important wedding day accessory. Most brides give them to their bridal party and other special people at the rehearsal dinner so they will have them for the special day. Oddly, I have found that ladies love receiving a fun wedding handkerchief  but very often will treat themselves to one. I enjoy creating different hanky styles from fun & whimisical to classic & traditional so that the bride can select a wedding handkerchief specifically for a person. Whether it be to match their dress or their personality, they will carry the special Happy Hanky with them always!

I’m so excited to be releasing my third collection of Happy Hanky handkerchiefs! This collection is all about whimsy. The handkerchief prints are perfect for a wedding or a day on the town. The nine new handkerchief styles were just uploaded in the Collections section. Don’t forget those Fall weddings that are right around the corner. Happy Hanky handkerchiefs are the perfect gift for brides and bridal parties!

I’m just wrapping up a photo shoot of the new Happy Hanky collection. You’re going to love all the new handkerchief designs. You are definately going to want to pick up a few for the Fall wedding season. And let’s not forget the moms-to-be…a Happy Hanky make a perfect shower gift!
