Wooden boxes at Hallmark store
Last night I went into the local Hallmark store and saw a new
promotion...Hallmark has lovely wooden boxes with velvet lining for $9.95 with the purchase of three cards. The top of the box has a space with access to place an insert - and would be a lovely box with a piece of needlework inserted! (It appeared that the space allowed was the standard size of a photo, but whether a 3-1/2" X 5" or a 4" X 6", I didn't note specifically -- so go measure it for yourself first, don't quote me!) Seemed a reasonable price for a nice wooden box. In my mind I'm already starting to plan for next Christmas. Thought I'd give you all a head's up to check your local stores. If you look at www.hallmark.com, it's under special offers as the "keep and remember" box. Sue |

I swear I posted a reply to this already, but it's apparently out lost in cyberspace... I've purchased a box or two for framing a photo in the lid before. I always have trouble getting the needlework framed. I've managed, but with the use of many words I shouldn't be uttering. Seems like there's just not enough room for something thicker than a piece of paper, ie. my needlework. Anyone else have this problem? Solutions? I haven't gone this route in ages because of the troubles, instead getting boxes advertised for needlework framing (since the frame part tends to be designed with needlework thickness in mind, still leaving room for some class/spacers).

Barbara HJ I've had a similar experience. A jewelry box with a lid that can hold a picture. I couldn't get a piece of cross stitch in it no matter how I tried so I finally gave up. I haven't tried to put needlework in a box lid since then and probably never will unless I make my own. The boxes I've seen that are meant to frame needlework are way too expensive for what they are, mass produced simple unlined wood boxes with a plain frame hinged on as a lid. A box has to sing to me before I buy it and those just don't. Debra in VA |
