Today, we do not give pins a second thought. This was not always the case. In the 1800's, every woman cherished her thimble, her set of scissors, and her set of pins. Pins were such a luxury it became a custom to give brides money for pins; hence, the term pin money.Tuesday, January 19, 2010

Sorry Sue. Didn't mean to delete your post.
