      Pretty sure those are upright file sorters turned on their side, which you can find at any office supply store.

    I have one for you. How often do you look for a safety pin? I used to do theater and was always looking for one…I then started storing them in a paperclip holder. If you want a photo let me know and where to submit it and I’ll send one.

    I’ve been using a bottle to close my open bags when we go camping for years. LOL I just got really tired of stale bread and chips 5 minutes after they were opened.. Glad to see it listed here.

    A lot of pins seem to direct to our page and it’s well done except that on any mobile devices, which most of us use, the ads are larger than your articles and photos are super small.

    Hoping you can adjust this 💙

    As a kid, my mom taught me to always have a safety pin inside the waistband of my pants (jeans, shorts, khakis, any kind). You have it handy when needed, and also know where to look for one if you’re at home. And no, I’ve NEVER been stuck by a pin opening accidentally, which also rarely happens. 😊
