I love the creative ways in which vintage handkerchiefs have been incorporated into weddings recently! Whether
for Save the Dates, Invitations or simply for decoration- a collection
of these hankies in various floral patterns creates such a beautiful,
old-fashioned aesthetic.
Inspired by this concept, I designed some letter-writing paper
sheets in the style of vintage hankies. Guests can pick them off a line
to write little notes to the newlyweds and then hang them back up for
display!
In the same vein as this previous DIY
where I also explored the concept of 'Love Notes', these "Hanky" Love
Letters are a unique guestbook alternative for your wedding.

I've already started my collection of lovely tableware from Attia- a couple of cups and saucers, a small wooden teaspoon...Now I've got my eye on that eggcup. Would love to own them all!

Some crafty bits that are inspiring me at the moment:
Top: During my lunch breaks, recently, I've been re-watching old episodes of Friends and have noticed a cute granny square pillow in Monica's apartment. Inspired, I went searching for something similar on the net and found this pic of a handmade pillow by Tracey Jeffrey. Cute!
Bottom: Steffani K of Sew with Sass was rummaging through her mother's fabric stash and happened across a box of authentic vintage Liberty of London fabrics! What a beautiful array of colours and patterns.
Loving the beautiful colours in this shoot photographed by Carl Bengtsson.
