Hello,
Can anyone imagine actually pushing small bones of fish into a hard,
straw-stuffed pillow?? Psssh.
OTH, it is pretty well verified that thorns were used as pins to close
clothing a couple of centuries ago. There are bushes that have very
long and slender thorns that are suitable for

I have a horn bobbin, and it is semi- translucent.
It is a fawn-y sort of colour, with a darker streak in it, and is not as
hard (stiff) as wood or bone. There seems to be a tiny bit of flexibility
to it when it is warmed from handling.
I have no idea where I got it from.

near Wollongong N.S.W.Way out in the country, in an old farmhouse, no other shops
nearby, it was a most surprising place to find lace bobbins for sale.
