no worrys, i'll keep looking.
tho have you considered making them?
seems to be you could easily reduce the size of any
envelope to suit
and the handy glue stick would do the trick to close it.
try a post it for size.

wooooooohoooooooooo, in MA too.
hope this suits.

Leslie, maybe you should take a look at glassine envelopes? The lavender
will look lovely in these, as they are kind of transparent, but they're
paper, and they're pretty. Also, the lavender will not stick to
glassine. Take a look at this link.... it's for seed envelopes......

I stumbled upon glassine envelopes, quite by accident, a couple of years
ago when I was looking for something tiny to put St. Patricks Day
confetti in..... they're really pretty, and stuff doesn't fall out of
them. I'm sure if Leslie looks around, there will probably be some 1x1's
out there somewhere.......

Living so relatively near Redditch, I felt I ought to know this; but,
like others, I had no idea they made machine needles. Do they make the
range of types that Schmetz does? I wonder if any of the sewing shops
in Worcester sell them? I'll have to find out - Worcester is only 40
miles from me and I love going there - any excuse! I'll do my own bit
of a ferret out! Thanks for the info., Estelle.

Thanks for the link Jeanne. I will need a uk based supplier or the tax is
high.Only allowed to spend £19 ($38) before tax.
JJ needles are excellent and imho nicer than Schmetz! I have tracked down
the manufactureres of them in Worcester. Have to pay full price, but if it
makes the difference to me why not! lol.

Considering the time it would take you to find them and order them etc,
you would make better use of your time by making them yourself! Use
something like Carol Doak's FPP, paper make a prototype and then go into
production. Once you decided on how to do it (a really miniature
version of your 'deeper than wide' bag would be perfect, with the flap
the full width). You could make that with a rectangle 1" x 2.5"; glue
up the sides, pop the lavender in and glue down the top. Using a glue
stick would make it quick and clean. You could do one a minute I'm
sure. Do you need 60? One hour's work.

Okay, Jeanne, I have a searching challenge for you! I need tiny white paper
envelopes, about 1 in. square. I want to put a few grains of lavender in
each one to go with my goodies I am making. Can you find *that*? I
can't.....

£19? I didn't realize it had gone up. )) I've only been limiting myself
to £18.
thanks for that info Estelle. I will also give the JJ needles a go. (I like
their hand sewing needles just never seen the sm ones) Cheers

Does John James make SM needles? There are heaps of fine John James
hand-stitching needles here but I didn't know they also make them for
the SMs. Polly

This will probably apply to UK'rs. I am wanting to buy some sm
needles as a bulk buy for our club and myself.. I like John James
ones and wondered if any of you know where I might be able to get
them.

Ohmygosh, Leslie, I just ordered a paper punch that punches out a little
teeny envelope shape. It's 1 1/2" wide by 1" tall. You just have to fold
it and dab on a spot of glue. I will be happy to punch you a ton of
envelopes when I get it. I just ordered it this morning isn't that weird?

What colors you want?? I have tons of paper from when I used to not be able
to choose good color combinations when I made greeting cards.

Thanks, Jeanne! You answered my question even before I
posted it. How do you do that?

I see there is a special stiletto on the site. I happen to
have one of these tools, and find it very useful. I got if
for about $1 in a junk rack at Jo Anne's ... was I lucky
or what? I see it is about $10 at this site. That is a tad
high, but I really like the tool, so would probably pay
that to replace it if I lost it. NAYY. Here it is:
