I have a habit of collecting pretty embroidery and recently it has been in the form of hankercheifs. The only issue is that I don't use handkercheifs. So I was thinking of putting the ones collected into a quilt. I then googled to see if anyone else had thought of the idea already.
Yes! othere people had used the same idea.
I prefer the ones that show the edges of the handkecheifs as these are sometimes the prettiest part.

Tissue case holder
Very useful for keeping in your bag. I made mine out of white leather years ago but which was a good idea as it was waterproof but not so great with age. Time to make a new one I guess.
You can get the tutorial from here.

Tea
Both of these I found at thrift stores/markets, I'm starting a collection. I think metal tea strainers are a great idea as you don't have to use a tea bag so it's less expensive to buy. Especially I think the tea pot design in adorable.
