Vending Containers

Did I get your attention with that title? LOL So, have you ever asked yourself "self, what do you think 200 vending containers look like?"....well, frankly, neither did I until the other day.


I like to do embroidery and use the # 8 dmc embroidery floss on a ball but I find it unravels and then I end up with knots galore. So, last weekend I'd gotten an email from Bird Brain which sells cute little floss balls I think they call them. Their price was not too bad for a dozen but I needed more than 1 dozen and in one of my daily emails to Robin she mentioned that on ebay someone was selling these vending balls for a tremendous price...so, I wrote the guy and voile, I am the proud owner of 200 vending balls.....not that I need 200 but I will split this box full 3 ways and mail some to Robin and Michelle for these balls of floss that I have to do a small project.....

This is a great idea...but the vending balls look smaller than the perl cotton. How well do they fit inside of the vending balls???

OK!!! I reread what I wrote and it just sounded wrong. LOLOLOL Let me rephrase. If you would like someone else to share a portion of the cost, and divide it by fourths, I would gladly do so. :o)

I LOVE those little containers. I buy them everytime Bird Brain is at a quilt show. They are perfect. Looks like you got quite the deal though.
