Alice brings up another good thread... storage of all the "stuff"! We've done this one before, but for the newbies, it might be interesting...

I make a carry bag to fit each of my pillows, and of course that protects the bag when I'm not using the pillow. But I've purchased those handy "wreath hangers" which are sold during the Christmas season, and one hangs on the back of each of the doors in my "lace room". Each hanger holds a bag by the handles, and the pillows are out of sight, and safely stored. For my bobbins, I found a wonderful chest in "Sam's Club" (AKA "Price Club", etc.,) which is an inexpensive imitation of those wonderful chests made for clocksmiths, and other craftsmen who use small, precision tools. It is made of oak and lined with felt, and my entire collection of bobbins (and bobbin rolls) fits in it nicely. It is also attractive to look at, so I don't feel the need to hide it.
