Imagine trying to walk in that girdle they are showing in the pic, you would have to twist for sure!!! :lol: :lol: Great find on the thread and other things.

I got all the stuff in one box so now I have an empty one to fill up!

If any of you ladies need to "refresh your girdle", I've got the trolley supporters you need. :-)

You should use those girdle thingies to hang up a wall hanging!

Do I see wooden spools in that stash?

I remember those!!! I also remember my aunts bending over to lock them to the single hose they wore, one on each leg, and screaming when their fingernails started a run in those extremely hard to get hose!!!!! They were precious things, and I would be sent to "the store" to see if one of my Grandma's kin would have a pair or two of them "below the counter" for my aunts. I'd get them in a paper sack so no one could see what they were....they were THAT precious and hard to get.

:roll: Hehe ain't that the truth!! And I don't plan on wearing one soon, either!!

My girdle just hasn't been getting the support it needs lately. It bears a heavy burden....

Did you know you can use those clips to secure a picnic table cover or a fitted sheet whose elastic is done for?

I'm a little bit younger (not a lot) but I don't know what my trolley is! (LOL) Please excuse my ignorance, and help me out by explaining it to me! Thank you so much!
