Plaid Heirloom Hanky Dress
I was so honored to be able to make this Heirloom Hanky Dress for Katie Dix. She is a talented lecturer and fellow collector of vintage hankies.
This wonderful plaid hanky and rhinestone buttons belonged to Katie's mother, Mary Cleeton (b. 1920 in Vinita OK; d. 1998 in Nashville TN). She served in the US Navy during World War II, married in Califonia in 1947, raised her family in Nashville, and spent her working career as a creative writer for Jack Daniels Distillery.
For more info about Katie, you can visit her website at www.storyofvintagehankies.com

October 2012
The following is a quick catch up for October of 2012.
 |
This is a custom order of hanky dresses. They were hankies of my client's favorite aunt. My client gave them to various relatives for Christmas. I believe she saved one for herself. I pulled out all the stops on this order and did a few new things that I had never tried before and came up with a couple of new ideas in the process.

 |
| We only got one pumpkin this year - but it was a nice one! This is an Amish pie pumpkin. I love it's lovely pale color. |
 |
| And here is the first pumpkin pie made with the pumpkin. I have also made at least six large loaves of pumpkin bread. And still have lots of frozen pumpkin left. |
 |
| These were way up on top. The squirrels need some apples too. |
