Remembering the many like William Henry Prigge who fought valiantly in World War I. Those who gave their lives. Those who had to sacrifice a loved one, whose families broke under the pain of the Great War. We remember❤️
“In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.” – Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
I have known this beautiful woman since 2009. We started at the same time at CEU and shared the same office. I remember her wonderful wedding and when her first son was born. Today was another special day as I got to visit her family at their vacation home and got to spend a real Balaton day with her. Thank you for your warm welcome, Adri❤️

I met Réka in one of my favourite stores in Vienna. She’s been living here for seven years. She works as a shop assistant at NKD but she is also a very talented illustrator. Above all, she brights up the store with her radiant presence. There are many Hungarians living in Vienna and it is always a pleasure to suddenly realize: “I’m from Hungary too!”🥰
This is not the first time I meet her. In summer months, she stands every day at the entrance of Budapest’s central market (Fôvám tér). Inviting tourists and Hungarians with genuine kindness to the nearby traditional Hungarian restaurant, Pipa (Pipe).
When a lady from Kalocsa starts embroidering on an old sewing machine, magical things happen🌸
Yesterday I visited Fejér county and met a wonderful lady who shares my love for embroidered and folkart textiles. She has two very cute dogs and a third one that was born in the body of a chicken but always hangs out where the dogs are🦃
Erzsi néni / Aunt Erzsi working on her beautiful Kalocsai tablecloth. I could have sat next to her all day watching her create this amazing piece of art. She was so radiant and so generous of spirit❤️
The new Museum of Ethnography in Budapest is diginified and magical. Opened just a few days ago, it introduces a world of the people for the people. While the main permanent exhibit will only open next year, the current, smaller, yet beautifully diverse exhibit deeply resonates with where our foremothers and forefathers came from and what a precious heritage they left for us❤️
