As children my brother, sister and I rarely left the house without a hankie carefully placed somewhere on our person or in our little purses. A tradition that both my mother and father still hold on to, from both of their respective parents.
Recently I received an email from one of my favourites: LA (local artist) about the Hankie Project. It is a really interesting blog about the association with handkerchiefs and death. Something that we identify strongly with in our family since the death of our beloved Nana Clark.
When I lived in London one of my favourite gifts to post home was handkerchiefs purchased from Liberty of London for Nana, or from Hackett for Daddy.
