Wondering about the Hankie Honker story?

Wondering about the Hankie Honker story?

Years ago, when our kids were little, they loved opening their Christmas stockings best of all. They had homemade ones, of course... that were quite large, and hard to fill with meaningful stuff! 😉It was a pretty big task for ol' Santa.

One year, when my daughter was a teenager, and the eco-friendly movement was gaining traction, she asked for hankies! Making the hankies was easy, but I was wracking my brain on how to make them special! These words came to me and, on a lark, I threw together this Honk Your Conk, Hankie Honker label. I never realized how funny and special it was to them at the time... until years later... recently, in fact!

My daughter is currently a new mommy and wouldn't you know it, low and behold, doesn't she have the label stuck on her fridge!!😂 Apparently, it was important enough to have survived the rest of the teen years, young adulthood and several moves. 

Between her and her sister, they encouraged me that I really ought to make some to sell, adamantly insisting that the label remain the same... So here we are!

Both of the girls are still very eco-friendly, which you can tell by their business careers. Stephanie from Silver Creek Nursery (the hankie label keeper) has a heritage fruit tree nursery. Jodi from Huckleberry Hives is her sidekick, although they seem to take turns being the sidekick! 😊Jodi is a bee queen and nuc producer and a proficient beeswax candle maker. You can check out her beautifully unique, handmade, pure beeswax candles on her website.
