Rainbow Stork Scissors

Did you notice how obsessed I am with Stork Scissors?  It's because when I was a little girl, my Nana had a beautiful silver pair in her sewing box.  They were my favourite thing in the world!  Scissors shaped like storks!! 

These beautiful rainbow versions are 11cm  (4.5 inches) long which is a bit bigger than the traditional size of stork scissor which is 3".  Why do I like these scissors so much?  Because of the aforementioned nostalgia, but mostly because they are very very good.  They are pointy and sharp and my favourite job for them is cutting out lace appliques the pointyness of them allows precise cutting.
