I was lucky enough to get a 5 of their little snip scissors, 3 sm. ones in the black sheath and 2 curved ones in sheaths. They were only $4.00 ea. and a pair of reg.la ones and a pinking ones for $6.00. All New!!! I just love them. I found them at a hugs Flea Market [Jockey Lots] here in Anderson, SC. I have gotten thousands of card stickers and every thing you can imagine for card making.Love the little Bumble Bee scissors.[get those for $4 each.] I haven't been there in a couple of months because I had surgery one a heel and this place is giant to walk around I just love GREAT BUYS!!!.

I treated myself to a pr. of Ginghers a few yrs. ago but didn't use them until recently because I found them to be so heavy. Once I started & discovered how nicely they cut, I use them all the time.

You are so fortunate to have found these wonderful scissors at such a low price. Value them as they are becoming extinct as Ginghers and will have the name of Havel on future Gingher scissors, but never fear. I recently bought five inch Havel embroidery scissors to use with appliques in the hoop. They are curved and make trimming a breeze.

Congratulations! When I go to Gresham, Oregon during my Easter break at the end of April I plan on buying a pair of Gingher, they are wonderful scissors.

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.
