A new friend

Last Monday I met Monique from France. She loves the beads as much as I do.
It is almost fantastic, how fast we understood, although we did not know each other. Also our husbands got along right off.

Monique gave me this beautiful present, which I want to show you here:

Boite à secret

Almost I forgot to show my version of the little box.
Thanks, Laure (http://www.creationslaurebijoux.com/), for this wonderful pattern.
