Clothespin indecision
The cheap dollar-store
clothespins we bought when we moved to the farm a decade ago are few
and far between at the moment. Some fell to the ground and were lost.
Others rotted or split. Suffice it to say, I mostly drape my clothes
nowadays rather than pinning them.
Why not just buy new
pins? I got stuck on what kind I wanted back when the Deliberate
Agrarian started producing high-quality clothespins. Maybe I should pay more for
a product that would last a lifetime?
Then, while clearing off
my desk in preparation for my painting spree, I found a dozen or so new
clothespins, presumably the last of the original batch that hadn't
originally fit on the line. Perhaps these will buy me another year or
two of indecisiveness?
Or explore more posts by date or by subject.

I bought clothespins from Herrick because I was tired of the cheap ones falling apart. While I don't know if they will last a lifetime the workmanship is superior. After 3 years they still look & work like New. The hinges still keep the clothes on the line even on high wind days.
