I went to another market today - as a spectator this time. I visited a friend who was selling her ceramics and came across a stall selling these...a childhood memory. Everyone had at least one of these coat hangers hiding in their wardrobe in the 60s..
I have heaps! My mum made them all the time, especially the last few years before she died. They are great for not having pointy parts on your hanging clothes.
Oh yes, I remember those well. I still have some with knitted or crochet covers. The new plastic ones are practical but the old wooden ones with covers have a lot more personality
