Four little fabric 11 " squares - I think they are
probably handkerchiefs. I have a feeling that they are vintage. They are not cotton, but I'm not sure what sort
of fabric they are - they are very thin and feel quite silky, but ... hmm! Any suggestions?
Three of them have the most beautiful patterns and colours.
But my favourite is this one - a souvenir from the Channel
Islands with lots of little scenic pictures.
They were only 20p each, and I absolutely love them - so
ladylike and delicate!
Love, Liz

So pretty! What a great find.
They are gorgeous Liz. Love the Channel Isles one too. I bought a french souvenir hanky on our trip to Lyme Regis, I think I paid 30 pounds, so that is a great buy.
They are probably silk or rayon. Very pretty. I love old hankies.
I love the souvenir hanky too Liz. I bet the others are Italian. I bought a box full of at a fete a couple of years ago. They look very similar and are made of silk. I think they date from the 70's. Are you going to make anything with yours?
Oh I love the Channel Isles one too. Yes, like Kylie, I'm wondering whether you're going to make anything with them. xx
Hello, They are lovely! - they cou;ld be 'tricel' a vintage synthetic ?? its labeled on lots of my silky old scarved - probably a bit like what we would call viscose?

Oooh Liz they are gorgeous, I especially like the Channel Islands one too.
: )
I really don't know what I am going to do with them. Part of a cushion, perhaps? What would you do with them?

I love them too, especially the one from the Channel Islands.
They are so sweet. There are lots of vintage hanky ideas on Pinterest and I've seen lovely bunting made from them.
Those are really pretty, dee x
They are incredibly pretty, I Love old handkercheifs and much more decorative to have rather then a screwed up bit of tissue xx
They are so pretty, great finds! x
They are lovely, treasures of days gone by...could be silk or Rayon
Great find

They are really pretty. I would go for cushions. That way you don't have to cut into them which would be a tragedy.

I really love them, they patterns are so delicate!
Very pretty. They remind me of dainty handkerchiefs.
GReat find.. I am quite into finding old hankies right now. I thought I might literally tie them together and make some summer bunting..
Love the souveneir one.
Very pretty! Love the colors on the first two!! xo Heather
Lovely lovely! I was thinking a cushion, too, or even a curtain panel if you collect some more.....
Great finds! I especially love the Channel Isles one, too...so pretty! Thanks so much for stopping by, Liz!
so delicate and pretty!
Ooh, pretties. Could they be a polycotton? A lot of old printed hankies were, my Mum has a heap of them.
They are so beautiful, Liz. I know exactly the fabric you mean, a thin, almost gauzy material - silk, perhaps?
