What a wonderful article! My husband and I got to spend three wonderful days in Budapest several years ago, and it was sooooo gorgeous. I bought a suitcase full of pottery! :) And I bought a gorgeous embroidered tablecloth, and two B&W photographs that hold a prominant place in my living room! :) We have such lovely memories of our brief time in your beautiful country! Thanks for sharing your culture with us!

Congrats on t

Lovely article - thanks. I enjoyed it and learnt that the embroidery I've seen often here in antique/vintage shops, is actually Hungarian Matyo! I really want a piece of it sometime, but it can be a little pricey for one of the lovely examples. I LOVE the embroidery traditions in this whole region - a constant source of amazement and delight.

Krilla, yes, there are a lot to write about :-) While writing this article I read thru half of the Folk Art Lexikon :-) I have to tell, thet credits for the "related items" part are not mine. I tried to chose items "typical" Hungarian with embroidery, hemp bracelet etc...But these are much-much better :-)

So nice to re

Wonderful article Jutka! And thx for including my items. :) Traditional crafting is so widespread in our country that it could fill three articles! Besides Zsolnay there is the Herendi porcelain manufacture and there is the famous Halas Lace manufacture. A huge part of the traditional crafting happens in "crafting families". They live for/from their job and sell most of their product in craft fairs on weekends. Probably the largest traditional craft fair is the "Festival of Folk Arts" in Budapest in August. Certain traditional areas are becaming popular again like beadwork. And folk arts are accessible for "city people" as well, for example my daughter learns lace crafting in school as a faculty.

great article

Hi, Vanessa was right: I was in bed..and I guess now it is your turn, since it is 4 am EST now :-) Thanks a lot for your warm comments, and stories about staying in Hungary; means a lot to me. YES, on the header image you can see wrist cuffs, an unfortunately they are not on Etsy. Have a great day, when you get up. My day is just perfect from now on :-)

I won't attempt any comments in my horrible american-english phonetic version of Hungarian, but I just love this article!! I visited Hungary a couple of times when I was in high school and still treasure the time spent walking through streets of handmade treasures (and junky tourist trap items...) I most enjoyed an outdoor street fair we went to, I can't remember the name of the city... but it was lovely. I found so many lovely pottery pieces and embroidery. I still have an embroidered blouse that I bought during my first visit that I am unfortunately almost afraid to wear because I'm worried I'll ruin it. ;) I think that at the very least 2/3 of my heart lives in Hungary, and I dream of moving there someday. :) Thanks for writing this article!

I second that question, what exactly are those items in the main photo for this article? and how about putting basic information like that in the captions for photos from now on, so people don't have to ask!

This is a fascinating article, I love those embroidered leather things in the banner photo. Are those from an Etsy shop? Are they wrist cuffs or hair barrettes?

My Hungarian grandmother was a painter and I was deeply inspired at an early age by the bold colors and designs in Hungarian folk art - it's remained a major influence in my work. Thank you for a wonderful article that took me back to my youth, looking through my grandmother's books and admiring her folk paintings on platters and pitchers, and her colorful embroidered pillows. Your shop is gorgeous vadjutka!

Nagyszeru!!!!
