The Tialys '9-5' Etui Box
I had some great suggestions for new etui boxes from Dionne’s followers on her blog and I chose Yesim from Turkey as the winner. She suggested a box for the office with little emergency items in, such as spare tights, gum, painkillers, etc. and this gave rise to my ‘9-5 Etui Box’ . Yesim chose the ‘Baby Girl Etui Box’ as her prize as she has a relative just about to have a baby – I hope she likes it!
For Life's Little Emergencies
Some of the other suggestions, I have also made use of. I have already made tea boxes but had been meaning to make a coffee one for a while – just needed to find the right fabric which I did recently when I went to Brighton. I also wanted to make one using hand-stamped text and which might be suitable for a man.

'Why Don't You Write Me A Letter?'
Anyway, thanks for all the suggestions – any more gratefully received! I feel a ‘Chill Out’ one coming on with relaxing stuff like candles, herbal tea, etc.
