I have two straw-filled pillows which I love, but stored them during our 
move on edge, and one of them is now a very odd shape indeed - it probably 
needs more filling in it anyway or it could not have distorted the way it 
has.  I have been bashing it with my rolling pin, and it seems to be 
responding but very slowly - but it is an excellent exercise if you need to 
work off some aggression!

Hi again

Speaking of pillow storage -  yes about the wreath boxes, they were
advertised at Canadian Tire, too, just around Christmas then I missed the
sale -   I like  fabric totes with handles too, to hang on a sturdy
coat-hanger in a closet. The plastic wreath box, ideal for a complicated
work in progress that needs to be put away and kept flat.

Fields sells their store shopping bag for 99 cents. It opens wide and is
roomy for 18-inch cookie pillows, a real bargain if one doesn't mind that
the only colour choice is black and the store name in bold red (I look at it
and think somehow it could be tweeked to read 'Laces' ). The handles are a
generous length.
