Do they make jewelery boxes? Wow, I would like to see how they bend the wood into the oval shape. Do they make jewelery boxes?

I ordered the box when I saw the post on the 18th (in the evening) and my box arrived priority mail for me today. Now I'm in the state so it only travelled for a day, but I sure didn't expect it to be shipped out on Monday! It's really lovely and now I can take it to upcoming stitching events (without my metallic threads inside :) ) and how it off to everyone. Robbin Just wanted to mention that service is amazing!

It is very generous of them to donate to the project. To me it was a great irony to see the choice of carrier - I have been using a #7 cherry divided carrier I made a few years ago to hold my supplies while working on the lace and embroidery samplers - lace on one side, embroidery on the other! Note of caution to lacemakers: Tricia warned me that contact of the metal threads for the lace (esp silver) with wood might hasten the rate of tarnishing, so keep the threads, wound bobbins, etc wrapped in acid-free tissue or other non-reactive material if you store them in a wooden box like the carrier.

I've placed my order already! :) I’m so glad to see these available after seeing the beatiful ones that were sent and getting a chance to meet the makers at one of the sessions earlier this year.
