A few years ago, I bought one package of DennisOn
hinges for $7.00 from someone at my Lakeshore
Stamp Club. The package must have looked fine to me
for me to pay that much money for it then!
However, tonight I realized that about a third of them
will probably be totally unusable as some kind of moisture
(and possibly a little mold) has attacked the package.
I could swear it was nothing I did, however, (and I live
alone!) because I kept the envelope well away from
any spills and only took out a few at a time because
they were so precious to me. Tonight I noticed some
unfamiliar invisible tape (thicker than I use) on the
bottom of the envelope as I cut it open, so I wonder
if they were maybe damaged all along. I guess I`ll
never know.
So I have been sitting here for about half an hour,
seeing how many of them might still be usable. Aaargh!
Those of you who are wondering why I am making so
much fuss about little bits of potentially sticky paper
may as well know that I am almost as passionate about
DennisOn hinges as some of you are about some of
your little bits of coloured paper! There`s a thread
about DennisOn hinges somewhere - it might make
interesting reading! Maybe I`ll post this there too!
