Hat box

I found an old hatbox with missing lid at the recykling center for free. I thought I'd give it new life. The bottom had also come loose. Unfortunately I could not salvage the charming original cover in orange with white small dots. I covered it with a french embroidery magazine from the 40's. Yesterday I took a long walk by the sea along a path. On the path I met a very eager little child who showed me a rusty pipe and the wreck of an old boat. I climbed a birdtower, saw swans in the distance and beautiful landscapes. Today I´m meeting a french friend for sunday lunch and hopefully a long walk (if weather allows).
