Hi, I posted this in Can you help, but without any luck.

The following links show what I'm after: a small blank undecorated (white wood?) wooden box with 25 drawers (I'm thinking 5 rows of 5 drawers?) that I can paint and embellish and make into an Advent calendar. Each drawer perhaps about 2" square (internal measurements)?

Please can anyone tell me where I might be able to purchase such an item?
Many thanks :)

The following are basically what I'm looking for, but undecorated as I want to paint and embellish them myself...

This one is chipboard but gives you more of an idea of what I want to do with a blank one...

hi - I found your post as I was searching around. I sell these in my edinburgh shop and also online. the company is called The Imagination Workshop. You can look at them online at my site, go to "shop" then "decopatch" then to "OBJECTS to decorate". I buy them from Germany and I love them, I keep them as cheap as I can - hope that helps - you'll see a couple i have decorated with decoart acrylics and decopatch paper - very easy to do too! take care - nicki

Hi, I have seen these on ebay. Would quite like to make one for my kids, I think the oones that have a small decoration in each drawer are so cute!
You will have to post some pics on here, if and when you finish yours. I would love to see! :)
