The Penny Cutters
These are the so-called miracle shears from Pakistan. They were designed for use by paramedics and others needing quickly to cut wire, light sheet metal, or other tough stuff that might stand between them and their quarry. They are normally demonstrated cutting a penny in two. Which they will do. But not as a steady diet. Let's dispel a few myths. While these are Pakistani stainless, we're not talking any miracles in manufacturing. They are good for their purpose, and real handy to have in the old tool box. But their purpose isn't making pennies into 5-mil pieces, and you will twist or break them at about the same time you find out that you've done the same thing to U.S. laws! For sheet metal or wire or fishing leaders or tin cans or whatever, be our guests.

Feed Your Flowers
Seymour Krelborn could have avoided a lot of trouble in that horrid little shop if he'd had these Amazing Floral Beads to feed to Audrey II. Each packet has hundreds of 1/8" dia beads separated into (2) sections (one section of red and one of clear beads, one section black and one assorted, you get the idea). Drop one section of beads in a vase, add 32 ounces of water, and in 8 hours each bead is 50 times its original size, approx 3/4" dia, and packed full of enough nutrients and water to nurture plants for weeks. Plus they'll hold up the stems of cut flowers. And they're real pretty. So let us pick (2) packets for you, with (4) different colors.

Who Needs A License?
Buy a bucket of these nicely finished 1/2" to 5/8" dia wooden beads with 1/8" to 1/4" holes, and you're halfway to being a cabdriver. These are just right for weaving into the beaded seat cushions in every big-city cab. There are two sizes of round beads in a natural color, and barrel-shaped in-between sized beads in dark brown. We're not going to count each one, but we know there are about 150 beads in each 1/4 lb bag. If you drive too well to qualify as a cabdriver, string the beads on elastic for great bracelets.

Wooden These Be Loverly?
