Vintage poppy appliqué handkerchief
When I first found this sweet vintage hankie my heart screamed !! Georgia!!! Often referred to as the ‘Mother of American Modernism” Georgia O’Keeffe had a magic touch when it came to her poppies! I strongly recommend looking into her life and art if you appreciate midwestern landscapes and brilliant scenes that evoke strong imagery. Back to the hankie.. the poppy is hand sewn appliqué on a linen cotton blend with a sweet brick a brack trim, also hand sewn. We should also mention the drawn work, beautiful! Remember in time past, if you wanted something different, you had to make it yourself! As with most antique and vintage textiles there may be proof of being loved in a past life.
