Speaking of Etsy, I found this sparkly gem while searching for sassy hankies.
Want to be more green when you are having a cold and be stylish while doing it.Or even have a little something old fashioned, like Edward around with you? Or blow snot on a Twilight character, at least symbolically?
I also found these. I make fun of the "green" movement, but I think this is actually not a bad idea. Think of how much more pleasant it would be to use those.
The shopping spree has been motivated by someone who owes me $25 via Paypal. I figure, why not do a little Etsy shopping? Only problem is, SO MANY CHOICES.
Hankies are so nice to have! I carry embroidered handkerchiefs* as well as a packet of tissues. The tissues are handy for sticky-yucky ohgeezwhatwasontheelevatorbutton moments, and they allow me to reserve a handkerchief for less nasty things: for crying at weddings, for patting the sweatperspirationglow off my forehead on a blistering day, for cleaning my sunglasses.
*Well, not exactly: if you're shopping for hankies, you might consider looking for old-fashioned cocktail napkins, which is what I use. I inherited my grandmother's bridge sets, which came with square linen or cotton napkins with pretty embroidery in one corner.
