Default How do you store your notions and thread?

It's been ages since I posted a question on the board, but I need the experts advice. Recently, I made a little caddy for a couple spools of thread, thimbles, scissors, seam ripper, marking pencil, bees wax and pins and needles. I am thinking of making a line of (wooden)storage containers for quilting supplies, due to the success of this little caddy. I know there is a lot of plastic containers out there on the market but I thought a nice wooden unit may have an appeal. I am thinking of little carrying cases with a handle, a few draws, a lid for the top... and well... I guess I am still thinking about what would work best.

I was wondering what you use or if you have any advice or ideas?

Here is a picture of my first caddy. It has a magnet on the back that you can't see in the picture to hold pins and needles. Velcro holds a small bees wax container on one side and the other side has a couple thimble holders.

Thanks,
Harry B.
