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!

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.

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!
