Irish heirloom hankie
I'm a lacy hankie, as pretty as can be. With a wee bit of stiching, a bonnet has been made out of me.
I'll be worn home from the hospital or perhaps on my christening day, and then i'll be carefully pressed and enatly tucked away.
On the Wedding Day, i have been told, every well dressed Bride must have something old.
What would be more fitting than to find the treasured bonnet in a box sealed. A few stitches with ribbons snipped and a Wedding handkerchief is revealed.
