$18 (w/shipping) for a tissue box holder? i would rather buy a designer box of puffs plus!
looks like something a grandma would make for you, and you’d only put it out when she was visiting…i’m glad you kept the receipt, helen!
@#2 HH: I agree, since she spent the time to make the opening in the shape of the Star of David, why didn’t she center it? Oh well, as the say, “Quityerbellachin!”
Call me an elitest, but I’ve never been impressed by anything made out of plastic canvas. It’s just…too…walmart ‘craft’ kit-ish. And it always surprises me when I see people taking it seriously. Maybe I’m not hipster enough. I am fully willing to retract this statement if someone can show me proof that they should continue to manufacture plastic canvas.

this reminds me of a song I learned in Sunday School:
Shalom my friend
Shalom my friend
Shalom
Shalom
We’ll meet again
We’ll meet again
Shalom
Shalom
I’m getting all misty eyed with reminiscence… damn, I could use a tissue.

I can think of several members from my family who would love one of these. They all suffer from the kleenex cozy fetish.
