Who knew?

As always, my better ideas come from someone else – usually one or two favourite blog authors who generously share their projects. In this case, an idea for a stocking filler, in the form of shoelaces.
Thinking about this and carefully considering the potential of this great idea before I dive in and make fifty pairs of laces, I read the comments and further ideas as well. That’s where I discovered the word aglet.
Isn’t it fun to learn a new word? I wonder if I can drop it into conversation sometime today? ;-)

who'd have thought there was a whole website about shoelaces. The wonders of the web.
Wow, what a great idea, shoelaces! I've heard the word 'aglet' before, but didn't remember what it meant. I love words as well....I have a topic on my blog for 'words'!
My latest two are crenellation & castellation...
