Re: [lace] pillow storage/wreath boxes
You might try craft shops and those little scrapbooking supply shops... I've seen zip-loc bags of all sizes in those shops - although not the gia-mongus ones.

[lace] pillow storage/wreath boxes
Bev said: However: it was while browsing for something at Ikea that I found their zippered storage bag, called 'Dimpa' and there being a family member heading to Vancouver to the nearest Ikea, I begged them to pick up one of the bags for me. It cost about $7 - v. serviceable, looks like clear tarp plastic. Will easily serve my two block pillows to keep off the dust, if stored flat, or several cookie pillows stacked, and the unit could be hung out of the way. I hope the zipper is strong; time will tell. Nobody has mentioned the clear plastic storage bags that new comforters or sheet sets come in. I use these. They have zippers and come in many sizes. My family saves them for me when they purchase new sets and they work wonderful. I can usually get 2 pillows in them for storage and zip them up to keep the floating dust and cat hair off them. I also use these to keep lace projects clean if I need to store them for any reason before they are complete. I have some that my 36 pillows fit in right on down to my 12 pillow.

Re: [lace] pillow storage/wreath boxes
I use them, but for yarn and fiber storage--my spinning/knitting habit is much more advanced than my bobbinlace habit. Come to think of it, though, I've got almost all of my bobbin lace supplies in one, as well. I really like the idea of re-using things, to begin with, but I also really like the zippers--they're very secure. Plus, there's the bonus of being able to see through the clear plastic! ZipLoc bags (at least, here in the US) are now coming in special garganto sizes, specifically for storage of items larger than one's sandwich in one's lunch. ;o) I've got some of them, but haven't put them to use yet (was waiting until after the holiday season). --Sue in Montana, going back to the lurk swamp - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: lace@arachne.com Sent: Monday, January 09, 2006 1:05 PM Subject: [lace] pillow storage/wreath boxes Nobody has mentioned the clear plastic storage bags that new comforters or sheet sets come in.

Hi all Well now I have to get to know, what is a wreath box, I looked the word up in a english/danish and couldn't put the translation together with storage pillows.

Re: [lace] Pillow storage (wreath boxes)
Your translation is probably right! A wreath is a ring of flowers, leaves, ribbons built on a wire, wood or flower arranger's foam frame. They are used a lot at Christmas to hang on doors, but also traditionally at funerals. They can be a similar shape and size to a round lace pillow which is why a box to keep one will fit the other.

RE: [lace] Pillow storage (wreath boxes)
Hello Dorte. A wreath box is simply a rigid storage container for an artificial Christmas or seasonal wreath. I bought a beautiful artificial wreath last Christmas. It is a grapevine wreath with pine cones and artificial fruit wired onto it and it is a little fragile. I want to box it to protect the finish on the fruit and to keep things from being knocked off of it. Also I am in the middle of moving to a new city so that protection is really needed for the move. You couldn't put it together with the pillows is that this is a case of using something for a completely different use than it was intended for. Hope this helps.

Re: [lace] Pillow storage (wreath boxes)
Usually these boxes are for Christmas wreaths. The kind we hang on the front door in America. They are usually made of artificial materials and come out of their storage year after year. Well at least until they are too tatty and we replace them with a new one. :-) As they are often about the size of a cookie pillow they might make a good storage place. The Ace Hardware flyer today had one for $7.99 and was 24 wide.

Hi April, Janet, and lace list I have a flyer that shows these boxes - there is no brand name although maybe Rubbermaid makes a similar item. I don't see any measurements but they would seem to be fairly big (Janet, do you have one?) - they aren't expensive, about $10 - and if air-tightness was a concern, holes could be drilled in the lid. -- bye for now Bev in Sooke, BC (on Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) Cdn. floral bobbins and New Christmas Bobbin 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] Pillow storage (wreath boxes)
Hello all. I do indeed have 2 of these (one actually has a wreath in it grin) I measured the bottom to get an accurate area for you as the top widens slightly. It is 17 x 17 or 43 cm x 43 cm and it is 6.5 deep or 17 cm, not counting the bowed lid. As for drilling a hole in the lid there is a dimple dead centre in the lid where you could easily penetrate with a sharp knife. Hope this helps.

April asked if there were any wreath containers available in the U.S. I have not seen the ones at Canadian Tyre but there were ads in the newspaper flyers this week for similar squarish (corners rounded) plastic storage boxes at Target, K-Mart and probably Walmart for around $9. There was also one of double height so you could maybe pack more than one pillow in that one.
