I got the scissors on ebay, the 4 inch ones were only $9, the 5in ones $25, as I said, they weren't the pretty, decorated ones, just the ordinary ones, but I am more interested in them cutting nicely! They haven't arrived yet, so I am looking forward to the postie coming.
No, I truly do have large hands (they go with my big feet). I need a size 11 (British V) on my ring finger, and I have never owned a ring that would go on my middle finger, I think I would need a man's ring to fit that one, and they aren't decorative, like ladies rings. I can stretch out my thumb and little finger on each hand into a straight line. From the tip of my finger to my thumb measures 9 inches, and with two hands, I can measure half a yard!!! It's a very good, useful thing to be able to do when you need a rough idea of the size of something! :-) :-D
