Vintage Ballerina Hankie Handkerchief - Ballet Dancers

AlleyAdmin@flashbackalley.com (Holly) — Wed, 18 May 2011 18:12:40 -0700

Grace your handkerchief collection with this lovely vintage hanky featuring female ballet dancers at two of the corners, one dressed in blue, the other in red/pink.� Two ballet couples are engaged in dance, one at the center and the other at another of the corners.� The fourth corner is decorated with a colorful sprig of flowers.�

This hanky has a delicate pink frame with a steel blue (dark gray?) lacy scroll pattern at the outer borders.� Finished with a rolled hem, this hanky has scalloped corners and measures 13" square. There is one tiny spot near the skirt of one of the ballerinas, but generally this hankie is in beautiful condition.� There is no label to indicate fabric, but I believe this is cotton batiste.

Beautiful Vintage Hankie Handkerchief Dogwood Flowers on Blue

AlleyAdmin@flashbackalley.com (Holly) — Wed, 18 May 2011 17:32:18 -0700

A beautiful blue handkerchief that is decorated corner to corner with large white dogwood flowers, their rich brown stems and green leaves adding depth to the hankie's appeal.� Finished with a white machine stitched hem, this hanky measures 13" x 13-1/4".� There is a small shallow section of slight discoloration (about 1/2" long) at the hem near one corner, so subtle you're not likely to notice it unless you're looking for it.� Appearing near new, there is no label to indicate fabric, but I believe this is cotton batiste.

A real Spring botanical beauty!

Austrian Bucilla Cotton Pebble Weave Terry Hand Towel/Washcloth

AlleyAdmin@flashbackalley.com (Holly) — Mon, 24 Jan 2011 20:46:22 -0700

Offering a fabulous vintage hand towel and matching wash cloth, both done in cotton candy pink, with velvet-like cut loop bands of multi-colored roses and other flowers found at each ends. The crisp labels on this guest bath linen set confirm that these Bucilla pebble-weave terry towels are of all cotton construction and entirely hand-woven, made in Austria.

Hand towel measures approx. 15" wide and 26" long, while the wash cloth is 11" square. Neither has ever been used; in fact the hand towel still has its original 1960s-era price tag pinned to one corner. In excellent condition, with a bit of yellowing on one half of the hand towel mid-point fold, something that I imagine would wash out.

A wonderful vintage set, waiting to brighten up any bathroom!

AlleyAdmin@flashbackalley.com (Holly) — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 08:21:13 -0700

Originally sold by Art Sales Co. of Los Angeles and likely dating to around the 1970s, offered here is five-plus yards (194 inches) of bright pink 100% cotton 1" trim fringe, never used and still on the bolt, which is labeled Artco Trim for Promotion.

Add a fringe flare to your home decor (pillows, curtains), wardrobe (jeans, jackets), and accessories.

If you'd prefer to have this packaged and shipped without the bolt, just let me know and I'll adjust the shipping cost on the final invoice, as shipping will be somewhat lower without the need for a larger box.
