See if that works for you!

Those are the exact ones that I ordered. They are from London, sweet girly, so they will take up to 3 weeks to get to me.

Not yet. I have tried Wal-Mart and stores along those same lines. They carry the packs of 10 but they are all. sold. out.

Like I said, someone in RI is playing with matches.

I looked for the plain ones at all the usual places. No luck. On line was too expensive, so.

bought regular little matchboxes at Smart & Final. 99 cents for 6,

Kaijira bought hers at Von.

Maybe HomoDepot? I though about making them, but that went out fast as the lights.

Someone I know is already in mass production

I'm sure your lovely lady is stirring the creative juices something fierce, Tommi!

I don't want to do the DIY version. I trust manufacturers much better than I trust myself.

No Von, Smart & Final or Publix here. I tried our version, Job Lot, to no avail.

I'll check the home improvement stores although I expect that they will carry the water resistant ones that come in a completely different sized container than what I want. The box stores tend to carry their matchboxes and matchbooks in more than one area. The picnic section (paper products aisle), the housewares section and the camping section. The only section that had the size I wanted was housewares.

You can order it from Wal-Mart online or Amazon, clay.

I checked one but we have a couple in the area. I'll keep my eyes open.

My beef was that I have today off so I was trying to find some yesterday to begin my journey. I've got everything else I need (and then some!) except the actual boxes.

I was surprised that Michael's did not carry them either. Every time I go in there, it seems as if they carry less and less of what I need.

Sad face!
