I got the mail...

...and it was 88 degrees. I got maybe the millionth postcard about the lawsuit against the people who run the place I live (and I don't qualify to get $$, I checked), a flyer for a store I don't shop at, and an envelope from a lady in the Exchange slip group I belong do on Facebook. It's cute, and it's handmade, but...what is it (see photo)?!? I feel dumb saying, thank you very much for the...thing... I'm guessing it might be for grabbing hold of a hot pot/pan handle? Has anyone else got an idea what it is?
