When I was a little girl, tea bags had strings with tags on them. My mother saved the strings and used them to darn my father's white work socks (he was a baker).

Thank you for this wonderful article--I enjoyed it so much.

I never even thought about saving teabag strings, but you're Mom's a genius for finding a purpose for such an ordinary thing!
