Hat Pins, A Deadly Weapon?

Hat Pins, A Deadly Weapon? | WorthPoint

I found this article while pondering the safety "points" and legends surrounding the original use of hat pins.
What I found was very interesting!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ FOX DEN DESIGNS Inc. Newsletter ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Greetings! I apologize if you are on FaceBook and have already read my post there.  What's next for Fox Den Beads? I was hit with a big blow a couple days ago.  Seems someone has bought the building the Fox Den is in and wants our space almost immediately.  I'm told we have less than 2 months to move out.  This is going to be a monstrous & expensive task.  I don't want to sound desperate but we really need your support more than ever right now.  Please share us as a wonderful bead source where you can.  We need more sales to pull this off.  The past 2 years sales have been down because of the economy.  We are staying afloat but it hasn't been easy some months.  I pay myself less than minimum wage to keep things going.  Some months nothing at all.  I'm trying to stay strong but this has sucked the wind out of me the past couple days.  I Love you all and so appreciate your support & loyalty the past 11 years.  Terri Ann Please see our October Shipping Special below!
