Dicarded or lost hankie

[HankieDr]

Dont know if this question has been asked before, but would anyone of you pick up a cotton hankie that you saw laying around as if dropped by accident? (I have on many occasion - f hankies only though)!! and sometimes wondered who it had belonged to.

Hi Dr and welcome

Yes, there is a thread on this! Now let's see if I'm any good at making these links... [screws face up, shuts one eye and clenches tongue between teeth]

Thank you!

Have to say, the urge to pick it up far outways walking by!

[Kleeny]

Ah yes, that was me. I still use that handkerchief regularly, pretty soft and a striking pattern.

Welcome to the forum, by the way, always great to have another hankie fan around.

That was a special day when I picked that hankie up, as saw another one elsewhere, in a shop, but I didn't have the bottle to pick that one up. I felt quite brave/weird picking the one up that I did. Then again, I could always say it was mine anyway and I had lost it as I had passed earlier.

[HankieDr]

Have done that before in a shop, there was one the assistant picked up ( a ladies) and placed it on the side, i asked for it and said it was my wife's 'she had dropped it' she gave it to me with a little smile!

[Kleeny]

Last weekend I spotted what I was convinced was a ladies' white hanky on the pavement opposite a busy shop, so didn't pick it up but made a note for later and next time I came past, when it was quieter, it was still there so I swiftly pocketed it. It was indeed a ladies' hanky and it came up quite nice and clean when washed. I have used it during the week. It has rolled edges and a scalloped corner with a self-coloured embroidered ferny-type plant on it. It is nice and soft and thick. Part of me wants to let the owner know it's in good hands!

Excellent, well done Rhinoceros. Any photo available?

[snuffle-bunny]

Well done, it sounds like a really pretty hankie!

[Burt1234]

I wouldn't hesitate, it would have to be a ladies handkerchief though.

Well done to the Rhino

Thanks very much. Well, there might be if I could remember how to resize photos to fit the upload limit! Bear with me and I'll see what I can do.

Hi

Try downloading Photoscape, free, you can re-size pics on there quite easily.

Dying to see it now!

[Kleeny]

Will this do?

Rhino

PS Thanks Kleeny - Photoscape not suitable but Seashore did it!

PPS Clearly not a ferny-type plant at all but no idea what it is - anyone botanical?

Oh now that is very nice, thank you for posting it. It's a very pretty flower. I must say the handkerchief looks very well cleaned, lovely and white.

[Ricksneeze]

very nice hankie indeed.

Update: was walking in our local park yesterday and picked up a small handkerchief (white, pink border with little dogs motifs on it) dont think anyone seen me!!

Anyone else seen / picked up a hankie recently?

Well done Dr, very brave. I hope you washed it and it's still nice. Any chance of a pic, it's becoming a bit of a tradition to add a photo to this thread, to see your winnings.

I picked a hankie up the other day! I walked past it in the street, where it was lying in a puddle and when I walked back it was still there so I pocketed it quickly. It's a ladies' one, white cotton with pink and blue printed flowers in each corner. It's currently soaking in antibacterial solution (it was covered in mud) before going in the washing machine. I hope it's going to be nice to use, it's so pretty.

Sounds nice, so brave x

oooh discarted hankies... I have come across 9 during the last week !

8 of them were dirty and rather standard white with coloured edging, but 1 was impressive: still folded and with green-red-blue scottish pattern...

I felt sooo tempted to pick it up but that was not possible as I was with my family.

[Hankysneeze]

I found another one!

Walking down a track I came across what looked like a standard large white men's handkerchief lying in front of me. There was someone nearby so I kicked it to one side (in the process verifying that it was indeed a handkerchief) and made a mental note of the spot. In what seems by now to be standard procedure, I picked it up when I came back the same way. I've had to give it a scrub and I must say I'm slightly disappointed because it's unexciting and similar to several I already own, but hey - that's the risk you take in the hanky-finding game!

Any way I'll use it soon and report further.

By the way, talking about reporting further, I wonder how Snufflebunny got on with this one that sounded promising...

Any chance of an update?

PS I make that 4 found hankies in one year. Not quite a match for Countless' 9 in a week but OK. I'd like to find a coloured one for a change though!

I think the only time you will find a colourful hanky discraded in the uk rhino is if one of us from the forum drop it unfortunatley

[Salamander]

Ah, I nearly picked one up the other day. I was in a rock/metal club of all places, and there was a ladies white handkerchief with a lace border, folded, laying on top of a speaker. I came across it while hiding my handbag down the edge of the speaker (as one does) and made a mental note to take it with me if none claimed it, but I came back in a few hours and it had gone. Seemed an unlikely place to find such a pretty one, must have belonged to one of the girls in victorian/ gothic lolita type dress.

[Kleeny]

The circumstances have to be so right do they, to pick one up. I see what I think are hankies, but on closer inspection, aren't.

I wouldn't pick up a plain hankie, but I'd be interested in a bordered/patterned one, or a ladies one. I would be amazed to see a ladies hankie in the street. Makes your heart jump though, doesn't it?

[countless]

I had something happening yesterday ! When I was walking down the street I spotted a big white men's with brown edging a few meters in front of me.

At the same moment an older man passed me by, bended over the hankie and picked it up...

He might have been the owner but did not look that way... WAS IT ONE OF YOU ??

i am a hardcore hankie fan but NO, just NO, NO WAY

unless i saw the person drop it and know who they are/ think they're hot

[Kleeny]

I think it depends on the handkerchief. If it looks a nice one, and of good quality, a few good hot washes and it will be fine to use. The one I found, mentioned earlier in the thread, has become one of my favourite hankies.

[countless]

This time a 'discarted' hankie sneaked into my house ! My son returned from a summer camp and in his bag there was a used hankie that does not belong to him... I hope he hasn't become a fetishist too Can I keep it ?

oh good what is it like can you describe please c?

[Kleeny]

Sounds great that people are finding a keeping nice lost handkerchiefs. I am intrigued, Countless, as to the story behind your sons' handkerchief,

[countless]

it is a small white one with double brown edging - does not look very female so suppose it must be kids size
