Erszike and Erszike🥰, two wonderful souls who embody the beauty and love, the life and tradition of Kalocsa. I met them yesterday and enjoyed very much listening to how they talk about their heritage, how they carry in their everyday life what the word ‘Kalocsa’ means ❤️

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all? Beautiful hand-carved mirrors spotted at the Festival of Folk Arts.
Ica and Andrea, masters of kunsági embroidery. Carrying on a rich heritage filled with dreamy, colorful flowers 🌸
Colors of matyo embroidery❤️ So vibrant, so intensive, making the lovel matyo patterns come alive🌹
I love walking on streets I haven’t before. Our hometowns are full of gems we never got to see before. Walking down from the Buda Castle, these figures caught my eyes as they were standing guard at one of the windows on Hunyadi street. If I had such lovely sculptures by my balcony, I think I would say good morning to them every day🥰
I met Zsóka at the Buda Castle last weekend. She was one of the wonderful ladies representing matyó heritage at the Festival of Folk Arts. A beautiful part of matyo art is the hairbands (mirtusz) that women wear and Zsoka creates spectacular ones. Could I help buying one? No, I couldn’t❤️
