"if it makes you happy..."
kate o'connor is an illustrator and artist that i stumbled upon on flickr. i find her embroidery hankerchiefs to be so whimsical and fun. i want one. i love the random subjects she has chosen and the backdrop that the hankies become whether they are crochet, colored, printed or embroidered themselves. they are totally unique and hilarious.
you can find more of kate's cheeky hankies on her flickr page .




















































Such an insightful and humorous sight! I think I'm in love!
