My Favorite Household Item: Clothespin

Everyone knows what a clothespin is.  I grew up with clothspin as a mean of exactly what it was invented for: to hold the wet cloths up on the cloth line for drying.
Obviously, there are more things you can use the clothespins for than just holding the wet cloths to dry.  I don't need to tell you, all it takes is to just Google the word "clothespin" and I am certain there will be tons of usages out there for you to try.

The use I discovered  this morning may not be new but it was new to me:  I have printed out a Buttermilk Pancake recipe and wanted to try it out right a way except I could not find a proper spot to place the recipe while I gather the ingredients and following the directions on how to make the pancakes.  That's when I glanced around my kitchen counter and lo and behold, there is the clothespin!  My problem solved.

Clipped right on the edge of  my dish cloth basket - at a perfect eye level, too!

By the way, the pancakes were delicious!  Thank you Rebecca. It is a keeper!
