Holiday Hankies
(e) “I had an aunt who used to send cards like these with a new handkerchief and a five-dollar bill tucked inside every Christmas,” Judith recalls. “I thought it was wonderful.” At $10 to $15 each, she says the hankie cards are among her bestsellers at antique shows.

(f) The green handkerchief with the lyrics to “Jingle Bells” printed in the corner (far left) is one of the more unusual patterns she’s seen.

More Hankie-Panky
In addition to the usual suspects (eBay, antique shows, and estate sales), vintage clothing dealers almost always have handkerchiefs, Judith says. “And there’s always Grandma’s attic.” For more information on Judith’s business, write to her at TheButlersCottage@comcast.net.
