Title: Handkerchief
Post by: Ginger on June 05, 2008, 03:42:48 PM
Help! I need to find a place to buy a handkerchief in Colorado Springs (before faire opens!) If you know of any shops, or if you just have one lying around that I can purchase from you, that would be great!

Thank you!

Hobby lobby sells cloth napkins that can be easily turned into one, I also believe that any wending or tux stores would have them for sale for pockets.

Try a wedding store if you need a lace one. Most brides carry them.

When I lived there a thousand years ago, there was an Irish gift shop in Manitou that had lovely linens.  Don't know if this is the same place, but worth a try:  THE LEPRECHAUN SHOPPE - 719-685-9213,
943 Manitou Avenue,  Manitou Springs  80829
Irish Imports, Celtic Jewelry.

I know Walmart carries men's hankies (the kind old men blow their noses in) where the mens socks and undies are. I got a pack of 4 a couple of years ago for like $5. And you can find lace super cheap at any fabric store, or prob even walmart too. If youre handy with a needle and thread or on a sewing machine its really easy to put some lace around the edge. ;D hope that helped

The Leprechaun Shop is still there :]

However, a bridal shop seems the best bet.
My handkerchief is actually from my baptism when I was a baby,
So religious shops may also have them.
