We have the nicest people of this board!
Recently I saw a pair of thread snips someone had here on the board that I liked very much. I ask the poster where she got them and she said they had been her mother's and were not new. I kind of forgot about them and then I got a message from Quincunx saying she had found a pair in a box of things she got from Craigs List. I offered to buy them from her and pay the postage and she wouldn't hear of it. Today the thread snips arived and they are really nice. So, Thank You Very Much Samantha for your gift and being a special lady.
