#VA-109- Green silk hanky holder - $7.00
Era - 1920s Measurements - 8 x 8 inches Very lightweight light green silk holder. It is a flat square with the sides folded up and then down again. All of the folded edges
are trimmed in lace and the 4 points have silk bows. I guess it was meant to hold a special hanky or some letters, not alot of items.
Condition - Good condition. Has a few point dot holes on the back. There is a 1/4 inch brown age spot on the front and a few lighter small age spots.
The ends of the bows are frayed and a little shattered.
Bucilla pillow kits came stamped and ready for ladies to embroider. This one has a pretty lady with a scarf on her head, dresses in black, gold, red, green and orange.
The fabric is a cotton muslin.
Condition - Fair condition. The fabric is all lightly aged. There are brown age/stains on the back and a large browb water ring on the front and the back.
Some embroidery is missing. I have not tried to clean this.

Cute pair of wool knit peach slippers in original box. Box is silver with black, cut print of a girl and her slippers.

along the edge.

#BOUDOIR-5- Green Hankie/Lingerie Bag w/Ivory Lace - $10.00
6 x 8-1/2 inches. 1930s
3 fold, pale green acetate bag with thin batting lining. The top has ivory lace and ruffled green around the edges. Opens out flat with ribbon for holding hanky in place.
Condition - Good condition, lightly aged all over, and moreso on the bottom fold. There are two large light
brown water stains on the inside. 1/2 inch l-shaped tear inside and several small wear holes. Still a nice display piece. Hard to find color and the lace and trims are very nice.
#BOUDOIR-7- Terry Cloth Bag w/Embroidery & Crochet - $18.00
14 x 19 inches. 1930s
Hand made from cotton terry towels, my guess is that it is a laundry bag for lingerie items. The top edge and strap are light green rayon crochet with pink silk ribbon. Pale green and pink flowers embroidered down the front piece of the bag and green embroidery around the sides.
Very pretty and interesting piece.
Condition - Good condition. The terry cloth is all lightly browned from age, slightly darker on back. Light fraying in areas along the strap, some embroidery missing from bottom. Still a nice display piece.

Very pretty peach satin bag for hanky or small special items. It's acircle, folded in half with a pocket inside. Trimmed with light
blue lace all around the circle, blue bow on front.
Condition - Very good condition. The blue lace is a
little delicate and has small breaks within it. Thin grey spot on the back.
