After my Grandma Rita died, I inherited all her scarves and handkerchiefs (one being pictured to the left) . I know many of us have some around or have family members who aren't using theirs anymore. Why not bring them back, especially at this time of the year?
I keep mine in a little box in my room and keep in my pocket (or tucked in my shirt sleeve like Gram's did!). At the end of the day, I put them in my dirty clothes or with the towels for laundering. My more delicate ones are washed separately, so they aren't ruined.
Not only do I take pleasure in the physical softness of the material against my nose and the better it is on the environment, but I feel more connected to my Grandma Rita. What's better than that? Let's ban together and ditch those throw away tissues (or at least reduce our habit to use them)!

I do this! I also pick some up at antique shops when I visit them. :-)
