Handkerchiefs and needlepoint
Eight hand-laced handkerchiefs: two with purple, stamped name "Mrs. J. M. Spurling" Julia (Marie) Spurling. Two hand-made crocheted, lace pieces (one long strip, one square). One needlepoint pillow. One needlepoint sampler. From Whitney's grandmother's room in his present house, likely rescued from the house across the street when it burned 1928. Donor requests they be kept in the old pink chocolate box as that's where they've been stored in for years. Loaned until 2020 from Phil Whitney.
