I bought this item at a LQS in San Diego and wish I had bought one for all my friends that sew.
"Craft supply organizer, scissor organizer, sewing caddy, organizer, tool organizer, scissor storage, needlework organizer"
Sorry I can't post a picture of it - they sell on Amazon and Easy. It doesn't hold large scissors but it holds my small scissors and pencils and many other items I use at my sewing and embroidery machines.
Also, I don't visit coffee shops very often but my DD brought me couple of eggnog lattes from Starbucks over the holidays and in the lid of the cup they have this stir stick that plugs the opening and it is plastic. Well, it works wonderfully for applying a spot of glue. Instead of squirting the glue onto something and risk squirting out too much, this little tool can reach down into the bottle and get just a bit. It has a little knob on the end so pulls the glue out easily. Other sticks work well too - but this is something usually thrown away, you can wipe the glue off easily and since it is weighted at the other end I stick it into my scissor caddy until it is totally dry.
