Dolphin's Paradise Tin Box

A small square tin box with a lid showing a seascape at sunset: a dolphin breaking the surface, a palm-covered island with a lighthouse, tropical fish and coral below the waterline. Its pocket size makes it easy to keep in the workbasket or to slip into a bag along with your current project.

Inside there is room for tapestry and sewing needles, pins, a few beads or needle threaders — the kind of small items that get lost in a large container. The box is sold empty, with no needles included. It also makes a simple gift for a stitching friend.
