I love the butterfly pins. They’re great when I’m sewing with several other sewers on projects. Finding my pins at the end is easy and everyone comments how cute they are!
ZJ, I wish you could share with us the name of that website you alluded to! I’m sure a number of us would love to know.

Thanks
