A red hatbox

Posted by lilykarin on januari 2nd, 2010 . Filed under: Lovely Things .

I got this wonderful red hatbox for christmas. It used to belong to my grandmother’s sister and dad found it in their old house that has been sold a little while ago and hence cleaned out. I also got four hats that were in it, all from 40s-50s. I love hatboxes, so good for storing things in while being pretty at the same time. It was probably my favourite christmas gift!

(I also thrifted the tiny beige suitcase in the pictures a little while ago, for 25 kronor)

Beautifully patterned inside! And one of the prettiest hats. My other favourite is in black felt with a little acorn metal ornament on it.

And my grandmother gave me the little metal frame from the 19th century. I put a 50s cat post card in it. The frame used to belong to my grandfather’s mother. Frejs parents gave me the book on vintage clothing, pretty nice book with lots of pictures.

    Thank you! If I was only allowed to listen to one song I think it’d be Fleeting Love with Nick Cave.
