string dispensers: a utilitarian collection
Sometimes when I search for something utilitarian I find not only the perfect solution, but also a perfect collectible. After googling “twine dispenser” to take care of my perennially tangled gardening twine, I found everything from R2D2 to a celluloid doll head. My favorites? The Cozy Kitten from the ’50s, a silver plated ball and new dispensers from Garden Trading and Terrain. — Sarah L.

These are so great. I especially like the one at Terrain.

You’re right MT, that cat is totally you. Michelle, I’m torn between the Terrain one and the Garden Trading. At some point, I need to decide and get organized!
