Dwina I got the stamp fabric off ebay. Our post office went to 4 hrs a day also. Brenda retired because she drove 35 min to work and it was to much just to work 4 hrs. She also is in her late 60's.So she was thinking of retiring.Jaba I use twine alot for ties on décor items.You could use it to make ornament hangers or ties for needlebooks etc. If you sting a bead on the end of it then tie on something to hang down .
