Joe likes handkerchiefs. He uses them for everything but what is normally assumed. Dusting off seats at the ballgame (for me ~ he's very gallant). Wiping his brow. Dusting off his shoes. You get the idea. And I like them for a man, too. There is something tremendously masculine about a man (Joe) having one in his coat or pant pocket. Well, actually, it's more that I love watching a man (Joe) reach into his pocket to retrieve one. And it cannot be a tissue. That just doesn't cut it. And it has to be of a good size. The handkerchief, that it. Well ... yeah, we're still talking handkerchiefs.
Definitely not of the pop-up-tissss-ewww variety.
So. I've made some for him ~ he seems to go through about 6-8 each year. The ones below are of a batch I'll be adding to my Etsy shop in the next day or so. They're all about 11" square & very very soft cotton & most are 'go-with-everything' neutrals. And, as long as the handkerchiefs aren't his *main* present for the occasion, he is always pleased to receive them. I hope they do well in the shop, too. You'll find that there is just *nothing* like watching a man reach into his pocket, even if that man isn't my Joe.
