When I was a girl,my Mom did quite a bit of sewing and her prized posessions were a pair of Gingher scissors and pinking shears,and they each had their own storage box.I have no clue where she got them from...her Mom maybe....or what happened to them,sadly.How wonderful for you!My happy moment of the day today, which probably only someone who sews will appreciate was finding a vintage pair of Gingher scissors circa 1950’s at the Goodwill. They are one of the best known name in scissors and like a lot of things the quality of the vintage ones is many times better than modern made. The additional bonus was that this pair was still super sharp and cut wonderfully.
