It is a strange, eerie feeling to see something you haven’t seen in a long time that you used to see all the time. That was the feeling I had when I ran across a page describing how to make braided barrettes. Everybody and their sister used to wear these back when many of us were in preppy Izod shirts, turtlenecks, and monogrammed sweaters. Bangs and two braided barrettes that matched your clothes. Pink & green, often. Hmmm… this eerie feeling is not turning into a nostalgic warmth.
