I have heard of grape scissors, but I have never seen any before today. Your little grape scissors are delightful, I can only imagine how it feels, to use something so lovely, to cut the stems of the grapes. I feel sure it would enhance the enjoyment of eating grapes.<br />Have a wonderful weekend.<br />Best Wishes to you,<br />DaphneIvy, Phyllis and Me!https://www.blogger.com/profile/09988502694544216304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-86410462832204262252013-09-28T04:34:36.858-04:002013-09-28T04:34:36.858-04:00Thanks for sharing this piece of information.
