Pretty French fabric covered boxes

I thought you might like to share a photo that a lovely customer from Australia has sent me - she collects these gorgeous French fabric-covered boxes, and these are just a few of them. She bought the second from the top in the middle stack from me - it had a great Paris store label underneath which always adds to must-have-it-now quality.

I always buy these boxes when I see them in brocantes etc - and usually sell them on, but having seen her lovely collection, I might just start a collection of my own...

SORRY, BUT I'M SOLD!

This gorgeous French fabric is from an old day-bed cover. There is a small frill - which would be tucked down the back - and a deep frill which would be on display at the front. There is loads of fabric here to make cushions, lavender bags, basket liners - you can get more information here...
