Dog Handkerchiefs

I got these three embroidered handkerchiefs at a garage sale off Commercial drive around the summer of 2005 for $4. They came folded, brand new, in this paper box with a plastic dust cover for display purposes to protect the delicate stitching. A golden sticker on the back says "Fine Lawn; Loom Master; Made in Switzerland".

Close ups! Aww, look at the puppies! I am ashamed to say that I have never used these handkerchiefs and all three just sit in my room in the box. I sometimes think about using them, but then I can't figure out how I would do it. Hanging out of the back pocket of my jeans? Then what if it got dirty? Fell out?! I could never forgive myself!

The box itself might even be the most beautiful part. It's striped in teal and debossed with a gold diamond pattern... gorgeous! And I'm still never going to use these damn things... and I'm never going to give them away. If only the dogs were embroidered in the opposite direction and then I could throw them in a lapel pocket and not just hoarde them in the shady confines of my gloomy room... God, I'm a real asshole. (But at least I'm an asshole with fucking awesome hankerchiefs.)
