It really is fun looking out for hankies, and they are so affordable and useful it's a win-win. I’m so glad you ladies stopped by.

I only keep a small handy size pack of tissues in my bag for other people and if there's no loo roll in a public loo! I bought 12 cotton hankies from a charity shop here for only £1.50. I'm also now converted to my own hand-knitted dishcloths too (but not for nose blowing!) I’m with you on the “real” hankies!

I have lots of fun finding them, though I have gone through hundreds to find some of these gems. Thanks you guys, I really do love using them.

They were functional then, too, because tissues weren't readily available in Japan at that time and hankies were widely available. It seems like yesterday! Love you!
