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!

Re: Sponge and floss boxes
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.

Re: Sponge and floss boxes
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.
