Hi there,

I stumbled across this today and have fallen in love with it, but they're made in Texas! I cant justify the cost ($26 plus $20 P&P)....anyone seen anything similar in this country?

Wish I hadn't seen it now!!! :rolleyes:

    Oh jeez, now I want one!!!!:o

    Have searched online and can't see any UK ones.

    Although, when I added a personalised one to my cart shipping showed at $12, not $20, if that makes any difference? (Haven't bought it, just checked it) works out at £27 with the current exchange rate.

    I already have a ring cushion, serves me right for being so organised lol :rotfl:

    I don't know whereabouts in Northumberland you are, but somewhere like this place might be able to help you make your own.

    Oh I love that etsy seller's stuff. My stepdad has made us a ring bowl. I'm sure if you search online there are lots of instructions on making your own ring carriers, one of my friends sent me a book-themed one but unfortunately I've lost it.

    Is there a paint-your-own pottery place near you?

    Why not try e-mailing one of the many cake topper people that make cake toppers out of clay and see if they would make one for you. Would save on the P&P

    I think even I could strech to making one of these. Might be a ble lumpy compared to this one but still :D

    Or air drying clay from a craft shop would work!! (cheaper than FIMO clay as well)
