Sponge and floss boxes

[Offe]

I am looking for two things:

A small box with a tiny sponge in it. You wet it and use it the same way you would use Thread Heaven. I already have one, but I want another.

Floss boxes that are deep, so that the bobbins can be stored on end, with the number upwards. I have found it at Needlecraft Express, but they are out of stock.

Have you seen these things in one of the online shops?

Thanks!

The Tapestry Studio in Blacktown sells those little sponge boxes. Never seen them anywhere else.

I've got one of those and I find if I don't over fill each section it's possible to stand the bobbins upright with the numbers on the top.

Thanks! I ordered 6 floss boxes from Sewandso. (I hope that will be enough.)

Still looking for the sponge box, since I am not planning a trip to Australia and can't find a webpage for The Tapestry Studio.

Tapestry Studio don't have a web page - I keep telling her she needs one but it's a semi retirement hobby so she doesn't want to be too busy.

The number including the international dialing code for the Tapestry Studio is 0061 (02) 9676 3898 - ask for Patricia.

I know she will post canvases and threads overseas so I guess she'll post a box too but it might be cost prohibitive.

Would one of those sponges like in the post office/ bank work? Maybe you could make one yourself?

The box is air tight to keep the sponge to dry up, so it is really the box I am after, I think any piece of sponge would work.
