Colorful Babushkas

In grade school, a friend sought my help in writing a love letter for a girl he was pursuing. The words colorful babushkas just had to be there. Understandably overwhelmed by the word, he asked, "babushkas?" 

Well, that was grade school. I bet he now knows what it means.

Ironically, my mother only bought white handkerchiefs as I didn't want them in any other color. And boy, did she buy dozens every so often because I always lost one a week, if not daily. :(

Here are no babushkas but they were as colorful as what I had in mind while writing the letter. :)


 I was educated about the importance of a handkerchief's quality at a very young age. 
But now, the designs and colors matter as much. 
 
 
Have a colorful weekend! :)
