    I’m sorry, but anyone caught burning or cutting up my clothespins is in BIG trouble!! That’s what sticks and twigs are for.
    I love my clothespins and and take good care of them. They are stored in a bucket that sits beside my washer when not in use. The husband and kids can vouch for ‘don’t touch my clothespins unless you’re hanging up laundry’.
    I agree they can be very useful. To make my windows more efficient, I overlap my drapes. A couple of them will not stay, so I use a couple of c’pins to hold them in place.
    When I was a girl, one of our neighbors counted her c’pins to make sure they weren’t ‘disappearing’.
