Hi all,

Can't say as I've seen them here, although somewhere like Homebase might
stock them - never really looked. More houses over here seem to sport a
wreath on the front door these days so I guess there may be a demand.

What I did notice on a Staples office supplies flier that came through
our door today was a Christmas Decoration Storage box that someone else
(from the US or Canada I think) was describing on Arachne the other day
for using as thread storage. Three layers with plastic
criss-cross dividers for £9.99.

Happy New Year to everyone

Subject: [lace] Wreath Boxes - Again!


Today I found something at Michael's crafts store that might be of interest.
It is a huge square wreath box. It's made by Sterlite, and says it's 27-7/8
x 8-3/8, and takes a 24 wreath.

My 24 straw pillow fits inside with room to spare. It's high enough to take
three pillows stacked on top of each other (assuming no projects on them),
and the lip snaps on nicely. Pricey at $20, but with a 40% off coupon, not a
bad deal. The only real problem is where to store such a large container.
I'm working on solving that one!

If they are to be had, they would be found with either the Christmas
'stuff' in stores, or the dept. that offers plastic tote boxes. I
understand the artificial wreath isn't necessarily an item that would
be brought out from year to year for the Christmas season, such as to
decorate a door, in the UK?
I make a wreath from fresh greenery every year, but there are handsome
artifical wreaths, to purchase, and many ways to craft a wreath, such
that a person would want to keep it to re-use.
With some difficulty I managed to drop by the Canadian Tire store
where I'd seen the wr/boxes advertised, alas, none there, if there had
been any in the first place. One only tall 'roll holder' for the
Christmas wrap, and any number of 3-drawered see-through 'ornament
storage' tiers (no dividers). The last could be useful for lace
storage, but not as a furnishing that one would want to get at
everyday (i.e. wasn't very sturdy).


 I am always reading about wreath boxes although I can imagine what they
 are by the various descriptions I cannot say that I have ever seen one, can
 anyone tell me whether such a creature exists in the UK?
