You may wonder why I am posting a photo of the scissors and pencils holder at my parents’ house… it is because there are three! — count ‘em — THREE! pairs of scissors here and they all are functional. This is exciting for me because growing up, we had exactly one pair of scissors in the house, and (when you were even able to locate them) they either had a loose screw or were too dull to use. Sometimes both.
I’m trying to figure out if scissors were just inordinately expensive in the 1980s? I can think of no other possible reason for this oddity.
This is also why it thrills me when Doc finds nice pairs of vintage metal scissors at estate sales. He says we have nine pairs of scissors in our house now.
