Martisor




There is a beautiful tradition back home in Romania on March, 1. 

On Martisor a little charm with white and red thread it's given to girls and women as symbol fertility and reviving of nature. Nowadays it is given more as a symbol of love, respect, appreciation.

These ones below are made by my mom and are quite traditional made with natural wool entirely hand processed and dyed by my grandmother. What can I say?! Amazing women!!!
