Out from obscurity

Back in October I wondered whatever happened to blanket pins. As it turns out, they're still around, just harder to find. There is no Blanket Pins 'R' Us. No Bed, Bath & Blanket Pins. No International House of Things That Were Quite Common in Your Grandmother's Day.

I guess I could use some hand lotion

I was killing time, wandering around the RV supply/rockhound supply/hardware/housewares store that is also home to the auto glass shop when, tah-dah, trays of blanket pins. In three sizes. I got four of the Mama Bear size. Just the thing to pin the fitted sheet to my mattress to keep it from sliding off.
