at xmas i received a gift from one of Santa's Elfs and in the box was a small pair of Gingher scissors. i took them out of the box and looked at them and realized that i had 2 very old pairs just like that (very old, my GMs). which no one is allowed to even touch. i cried because i loved those scissors but could not use them. they are the ones that curve at the end. they are wonderful. i have lots of old stuff like that and they are in safe keeping.
