Who has taken my tape measure?

When Aunt died aged 102 we found a large stash of 'knicker elastic'
white cotton tape and bobbins of white cotton! None of the family will
ever have to buy these again!

I gave up on mislaid tape measures several years ago, and any time I
find them on a really good sale I pick up THREE of them! I always
have one in my purse and one in the glove box of my car, one in my
small "weekend" suitcase, one in my tote bag I use for taking
stitching with me, plus one or even two in every sewing basket and
kit, and the extra new ones tucked into an antique sewing stand up in
a bedroom -- along with packs of new shoe strings. Oh well. I'm
compulsive about never running out of pins, good needles, scissors,
and thimbles, too.

She probably built up a stock because those items were virtually
unobtainable during WW11.
