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 Andrea Lamble Cambridge, UK, where the sun has shone all day.

RE: [lace] wreath boxes
I've come across other styles of wreath storage which would be good for protecting lace pillows, and are available on-line. http://tinyurl.com/825os - This is an octagonal box with lid that looks to be corregated material but is described as stronger than cardboard. Measures 24", but would probably only accomodate a 20" pillow. 6"+ high. On sale for $7.49 each http://tinyurl.com/9gje9 - This is for a vinyl soft case which zips up and is clear so you can see exactly what's inside. It's round, and would accomodate a 24" pillow, I think. It has handles which would make it fairly easy to carry about, but whether it would accomodate a project pillow is questionable. http://tinyurl.com/925kv - This is another version of a soft case, but is also available in a 30" size. Also has handles. I don't have any of these items, but when I saw them recently in catalogs I received, it struck me that they might be useful. The last two would definitely be good for storing pillows that you're not using on door hangers, out of sight!! And another advantage over the hard plastic boxes is that you can leave the zipper open a bit to allow the pillow to breathe!

Re: [lace] Wreath Boxes - Again!
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? -- bye for now Bev in Sooke BC (on Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) Cdn. floral bobbins www.woodhavenbobbins.com - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [lace] Wreath Boxes - Again!
Hi Barbara and all spiders, 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? Sue M Harvey Norfolk UK where the rain has just started and is washing away all the horrible snow that we have had for the last few days. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Barbara Joyce Sent: 30 December 2005 03:42 To: Lace 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!

RE: [lace] wreath boxes caution
Thanks for the info! When I measured my boxes I measured the bottom so I could see the usable area as I measured. Mine have domed lids as well but the bottoms are indented so they do stack okay. The Canadian ones are made of a heavy plastic that I can't compress with my hands, especially when the lid is fastened. I am sure there are many makers and a variety of quality levels out there so make sure you check before you buy! I can only vouch for the ones I bought here in Canada.
