After I had my son, I realized the need for organic children's handkerchiefs, and finding very few, launched my own product line in April 2009 called Snottykins organic cotton handkerchiefs. If the owner of htis blog would be interested in reviewing my product, please send me an email! Any other eco-moms who are interested in seeing one mom's solution, please see my website at www.limegreenmonkey.com Hello all,

I've always carried a hanky and when my sister had a baby, I got him one too. Elegant Linens has this adorable baby bonnet, when the kid gets married you clip the ribbon and it becomes a hanky! Then he can give it to his bride for something "borrowed." They've also got a great selections of quality hankies....http://www.elegantlinenspc.com/Handkerchiefs.htm - hankies are not only green but they're also sentimental!

I think my parents still have a huge collection of handkerchiefs that belonged to my grandfather. They're kind of gross - I guess he got a lot of bloody noses! Sorry for TMI. But I think that kind of illustrates that you can't worry about stains on your hnadkerchief. Kleenex and toilet paper are the last paper products I still buy (besides paper!) and there was this psychological hump to get over when I stopped paper towels and napkins - it's okay if they get stained. Bright red berries all over the counter and I (gasp!) use a cloth towel to clean it. Same with the napkins - growing up cloth napkins were for special occasions and they had to be ironed. No way was that going to fly for daily use. I have a large stack of LINEN napkins that I NEVER iron and there are STAINS! Once I got over that, I never looked back. I wonder what it will take to get over the toilet paper hump. I think I will use the "it takes more hot water to wash them" argument for a while. That’s a good idea on the handkerchiefs.

I've been using mismatched socks this winter. I stick it in my pocket and use it for my kids. It's softer and I just wash it. Works the same way.
