This handkerchief is something I've had since 4th grade. Yes, you read that right---4th grade. That would be nearly 50 years old. Not quite, but real close. In 'real life', it's quite yellowed with age.
It was in my valentine from my boyfriend in school....remember the meme I did a while back? "I wanna be Bobby's Girl"? Yep, it's from Bobby!!! ~ * * ~
Last year, 2006, the sexiest job voted was the Firefighter! Think about it, what could be more sexy than a complete stranger putting their lives at risk to save yours?!! Link above is for voting.[not my poll]
My dad once brought me an eleborately embrodier hankie from Viet Nam. I thought to myself..."some little Vietname lady went blind embroidering this hankie!" So do you think I could ever blow my nose on it?
That is so sweet that you saved that all these years. And what a sweet Valentine from a 4th grade boy! This is a lovely and fitting photo for Wordless Wednesday Valentines Edition! Have a wonderful Valentines Day Anni:)
That is sooo neat that you've had the hankerchief since 4th grade. I love your picture for today. Very pretty. Thanks for stopping by and Happy Valentine's Day, Biker Betty :)
Boy you have a lot of comments!! I have saved things like that also. Nice to post on valentines day too. Have a great day. Sandy Thanks for stopping by today
That's very special. People used to give hankies . . . when we cleaned out my mother's things, we discovered she'd had hankie parties for various occasions and had many beautiful ones she had never used.
Hi Anni ~~ I hope you had a wonderful Valentie's Day. You sure got a lot of greetngs, and your Hankerchief story is so cute. Hankies were always a god present, but seem to have gone out of fashion.
Thanks for popping in and wishing me a Happy Valentine's Day. Take care, Love, Merle.
wow, what a beautiful photo, and how neat to still have that hankerchief tied to a memory! thanks for sharing, happy WW! (I'm making the rounds alittle late, thanks for visiting and commenting on mine)
