These mittens won’t warm chilled hands,<<<
LOL, I use wave clips for book marks, they don’t sell them any more.
The clothes pins I use to seal bags of cereal, chips, cookies or anything else I need a tight close on.
A few years ago, a smaller version of this went around to use on the hair clip we used to make pin curls......but the clothes pin idea I like better, more holding power.
I'm going to buy more of those, I used to have a bag of 25 or so, but they disappeared over time. Nothing's handier for chips or cereal bags. Clothespins, like toothpicks, used to be made by three companies in Maine, but now they are all made in China. That's one reason I haven't gotten into the dollar store habit, because so much of what they make is Chinese. You have to read a lot of labels! Once in a while you find something from the Philippines or Taiwan, or India. Thanks for posting all the melamine articles, they are important. And I don't think it's paranoid to believe the Chinese want us weak -- it's quite logical.
