I should be cleaning right now…

We’ve been going non-stop for three weeks straight and it is definitely obvious in my house!

But I don’t feel like cleaning

My favorite thing I want to share with you today is….(drumroll)… … …handkerchiefs.

I love handkershiefs.

I’m not sure how long ago I started using them, but it kind of started as an experiment when I was trying to eliminate some of the things we spend money on and then throw away.

I just bought the plain white ones in the men’s dept.  at Wal-mart. (Be sure to watch where you are looking )

And after several months of using them I have to say, I wouldn’t be sad if I never saw a kleenex again.  I love them that much!

I could elaborate on all the reasons why, but instead I’m just going to tell you that you should try them for youself.  They’re not terribly expensive, and you might just love them as much as I do.  Just don’t call them “hankies” whatever you do.  I don’t know why, but that word really annoys me!

Now I have to show you how I’ve been trying to lure all of my family into a handkerchief obsession…

My birthday gift for all the ladies this year has been hand embroidered handkerchiefs.

I made these so far for my grandma and my aunt.  I figure maybe the prettiness will be an extra enticement.

These are some I made for my cousin.

Now I just need to make myself some pretties…I’ve just been using the boring white all this time!

So tell me, have you ever or do you now use handkerchiefs?  What do you think????
