The Challenge

So I’m trying for 52 handkerchiefs, each with a different country’s flag on, and I need your help. We are going old school on this one. I haven’t even looked if it is possible to buy national flag handkerchiefs. That would be far too easy.

So there are some rules to keep this challenge true and forthright (and we all need a bit of that in this day and age don’t we?):

1) Each handkerchief has to be a representation of a single country’s national flag.


2) I cannot buy any handkerchiefs to further the collection. (How convenient eh?)


3) Any handkerchief has to be sent by someone who has been to the country whose flag it is representing OR knows someone who lives there.

(We are running a two degree of separation rule here. I don’t necessarily have to know the person but YOU have to know the person).


4) The handkerchief does not have to be made in the country its flag is representing. (Let’s face it, chances are it’ll be made in China, extra points if it’s a Chinese flag made in Mexico)


5) The handkerchief needs to be photographed by the sender IN the country it is representing (or by the person the sender knows in that country). All pictures (sender holding hanky and me receiving hanky) will be posted here and in an album on my facebook profile (if you are on facebook and a friend of mine).

All handkerchiefs are to be sent to:

Mack
