My first thought was they were cute, and my second thought was not $20 for 20 clothespins. These made it into a fancy design magazine? People, if you are spending $20 for 20 clothespins then we need to have a little chat on spending money wisely.
It is a great idea. But do not spend that kind of money on clothespins, of all things. Buy a pack of $2 clothespins (BTW, I already owned the clothespins, so no worries, didn't break the self-imposed don't buy anything until school starts. Yet.) and, wait for it, color them yourself. With the permanent markers I know you already own. Better yet, make your kids do it. Like this.

I just about died when I saw those in HB, too! I had the kids work out the math - "If Mommy can buy 50 clothespins for $1, how many can she buy for $20?"
ReplyDeleteOh, and I have a hard time believing that anyone spending $1 per clothespin is hanging up their own laundry.
Great idea! I can't believe you got a dog! I often think there is no way we could handle anything else, but then we dog sat for a couple weeks and I thought, it really doesn't add to much (I feel like there must be a threshold for chaos and once you get over it, adding more really doesn't "feel" different).
