Giant wall decoration safety pins?
I've noticed on sites such as Pinterest for the last couple of months that some women have giant safety pins on their sewing room walls for decorations. How cute!! But I've never seen them in stores....does anyone know where these are from? I'd sure love to have a couple for my wall.

Try www.ballarddesigns.com under “ set of 3 safety pin plaques” but they are a bit pricey at $61.37. Maybe someone else knows of a less expensive source.

I am so lucky - I have a large "safety pin" that my mother forgot was attached to her swimsuit. They were used as the reminder of what basket a person's street clothes were in at a swimming pool she frequented in the 1930's-1940's. Whe she took it back they said to just keep it because they had already replaced it. She was charged $1.00 for a replacement fee which she was happy to pay because she really liked the pin. The safety pin is about 5" in length and has a number tag attached to it. It is not as large as the decorative ones being sold today but sure has history and memories attached to it for me.
