that should satisfy me for now! LOL

They're owned (I think) by the town council and rented out to anyone who wants one. You keep your beach gear in them - surf boards, small boats etc. They're also handy to get changed in or make a cup of tea (you know how we Brits can't go more than a few minutes without a cup of tea, right? :mrgreen: ) I don't know why they look crooked, maybe the sticky out overhang bits give that illusion? Or maybe the shingle under them has shifted a bit - they're only made of wood on a slab of concrete base, I don't think they have proper foundations. IN fact, they're just glorified 'sheds'. :mrgreen: Cute though! :-D Anymore questions yet? :lol: :lol: :lol:

There is no other smell like ocean and wet sand. I know
I am home with these smells. Like you said it is perfume to the senses.

Gorgeous work! The original picture is beautiful as well.

Okay, I may be totally out in left field here, but I thought you lived in France? Did you move, or am I confused? :)

Great job transferring the picture into the quilt hanging! I love it! Wish we had that sort of thing on this side of the pond. Beautiful work! I love those type of quilts! Lovely quilting, as well!
