I started experiencing hot flashes about 5 years ago. Since then, I was always in search of a nice hand fan to use when I was out in public. Not the electric type. They’re a little weird to pull out in a restaurant or theater. I wanted something that was discreet and pretty. I could find a few Asian designs and sandlewood of course. But after a short time, they would fall apart. I said to my husband, Jack, there’s a need for a nice fan. Something I could carry in my purse and not be embarrassed to use. He totally agreed and the whole project began. It took a little longer than anticipated (but doesn’t everything) but we are happy with the end result. I personally have the fans all over our house. I hope you will visit the site and pick out a beautiful fan for yourself.
