Ashley English, editor of Small Measure provides lots of good advice to keep cool this summer.

Read through her latest post on her Design*Sponge weekly column to discover the secret language of fans and low-fi means of cooling down when the mercury soars.

Her post also features lots of hand fans found online: from traditional african and asian paddles, to japanese bamboo and silk beauties.

Ashley found my Etsy shop and included two of the fans on her article! I’m flattered to see my creations featured on such a prominent blog!

Thanks Ashley!
