Me too. Goosebumps. I love this story--and that you are maintaining the scissors for your daughter to learn about next!

Cool countdown on the right here of Jen Lancaster--did I tell you that yet?

Aww special scissors for a special great granddaughter. Even though it started off sad, I love this story!

What a lovely story and what a refreshing rebuttal of the stepmother stereotype! I have a small sewing chair of my great aunt's. The seat cushion lifts up and it has compartments for sewing items. Pretty cool. No pinking shears though.

Thank you for sharing. I was blessed with my grandmother's pinking shears when she passed also. They hold a very special place in my heart.
