    I was so happy to see this article in the latest issue. My 3-year old daughter has finally realized that beside his older brother's cars there are other fantastic toys to play with, like dolls. She has fallen in love with her Barbies and thanks to this great article, I have some good ideas how to dress her favorite dolls now and have a blast making them at the same time. Thank you!

    Absolutely love the idea. I have quite a few vintage hankies from my mom and my great-aunt Fannie(born 1897) She lived with us the last 2 years of her life. She was 17 days away from her 105th birthday when she died. She went out to eat and to church with us until the last 3 mos. of her life. She was amazing. We have a brand new GREATgranddaughter born in May. It will be such fun creating some of those special outfits for her. Of course, she won't know Aunt Fannie but her mom knew her quite well.

    I think your dolls are beautiful and the hankies are just lovely the way you make them into dresses. I love the fact that I can use my Mothers and Grandmothers hankies in this way, I have a granddaughter that loves to do things like this and I can't wait to show her this. Thank you so much for this blog, I know I will really enjoy this and she will, too! I watched your video and really enjoyed seeing all of your toys and collectables. You are so talented!! Thank you!! I have several of my Mothers and Grandmothers hankies, now I know what to do with them. Thank you so much again!!! sherryle@gmail.com

    That dress reminds me of some of the hankies I have stashed away for "safe keeping" that were mine, my mothers and grandmothers. Maybe when my granddaughter gets old enough I will need to put some of them to use.

    I would "love" to have this book!!! I have been collecting vintage hankies for a while now and love what you have done with them. I occassionaly wash and iron mine only to set them back in the curio cabinet with my vintage dishes. Your book gives me other ways to display my collection, but I am not so sure I could ever cut one, maybe. vickey.harris@bankmidsouth.com
