A few months ago, I bought a bunch of inexpensive hankies with embroidered flowers. I picked different colors – pink, blue, and lilac.
I think a pretty handkerchief can make a lovely little present (especially if it has crocheted lace). So this is what I am working on – adding lace to the hankies.
You can see some with white lace that I crocheted earlier this spring here, and now I have three hankies with blue lace to show you.
The crocheted pattern on these handkerchiefs is different from those that I made before. I experimented a bit and came up with it myself. The blue crochet thread came from my mom’s craft supplies.
The link parties that I am joining with this post are:

Metamorphosis Monday @ Between Naps on the Porch.

Really those hankies are so beautiful. I like borders, it is really very unique and simple but very stylish and best to keep in reception table.
These are so cute! I like their vintage look:) Ira

These are just Victorian Lady beautiful! So refined. A gift like this would be sweet, but sweeter still to know a friend made it herself. Lovely displayed against more blue lace.

How beautiful, Olga! Anyone would love one of these for a gift.
Those are so elegant! It's a shame we don't have more pretty things in our daily lives like our moms did. I remember wearing white gloves on special days when I was little, and the nice perfumy smell of my mom's handkerchiefs!
Hey, I gave you a "Versatile Blogger Award." Go check out my blog!
You make your own lace? Well, I am impressed! My grandmother used to crochet lace years ago and I thought these days it was a lost art. The hankies are lovely and would make a gift that would surely be treasured. Lovely post.
Olga, these are really beautiful! I wish I knew how to crochet lace edges!
Dearest Olga,
You are such a natural in producing the finest of crocheted laces! This is remarkable together with the embroidery. You certainly got lots of talents.
Love to you,
Mariette
