If you stuff them with sand (any beaches nearby?) or fine woodshavings (try any local furnitue making store and ask if you can have a small bag), every time you push your pins into it, they'll get sharpened. Cotton or rags or polyfil can dull pins over time (not horribly, but still).
Hehe, my mum shared that one with me but who knows where she learnt it from originally.
You might want to wash the sand a few times before using it just in case there's any cooties or anything in it, but other than that it sounds like you're living near a natural pincushion factory!
