Description

The listing, Vintage Baby Bonnet (Low GIN) has ended.

The Magic Hanky. This is for a newborn boy or girl, a coming home or Christening Day bonnet. It's made out of an old fashioned hanky when back in the day women still carried such things instead of tissues and when handmade gifts were prized.. It has satin bows and comes with prose that calls it "The Magic Hanky". The script explains how the baby can wear it home from the hospital and then be transformed back into a Wedding Hanky on their wedding day, either for the bride or groom to give to his bride. Quaint collectible or Baby Shower gift. Excellent condition for being kept packed safely since the 40's. This has the original red box and white tissue paper it came in if you want it for collectable purposes. The white tissue paper is not as pristine white as the bonnet but it is still intact. The red box shows a bit of age but did keep the bonnet in excellent condition through the years so yaaaay!

Wish I could call this a Bonnet/Sonnet except the prose isn't 14 lines and doesn't rhyme in iambic pentameter, nor was it written by William Shakespeare, However it certainly is a quaint and folksie item not seen in your everyday shopping at Target. Alas, homemade gifts are almost a lost art in our society......

I'm making a concerted effort to keep my GINs sane and low, thanks!

Great! I would much rather see this bonnet being used instead of sitting in a jewelers case as a collectible. I've fanned you and good luck bidding!
