“Sziasztok” means (roughly) “Hi” (but to many people, not just one person) in Hungarian.
I was just checking out this blog and found these:
I was immediately smitten and started scrutinizing the picture, figuring out how to make them, when I read a bit more and realized they are from a marketplace in Hungary! I must have some kind of Hungarian folk craft radar, being that my family is Hungarian (& Finnish). I just wanted to share because they are soooo cute.
So glad you like my adorable felt ornaments. I like to think of them as Mr. and Mrs. š I have them hanging in my kitchen so I can admire them as I bake Christmas goodies. Just thinking of their story and how far they traveled just to spend the holidays with me… it makes my heart smile.I think it is great what you are doing with your townhouse. We have made quite a few updates and changes to our townhouse over the past 5 years. I wish I had done a better job of documenting the process. You've done a great job!
P.S. These ornament were given to me by a real sweetheart: Emily of Rue de France. http://rue-de-france.blogspot.com
Thanks for your kind words. I just looked at Emily's blog and she posted pictures of your ornaments! That's so cute. What an amazing idea–I hope it catches on.~Tanya
Hi Tanya!So happy to see you swooning over these ornaments. Your "Hungarian folk craft radar" (haha!) is spot-on. I got these two lovelies at a Saturday-morning market in Budapest. Here is the website on the card that the woman at the market gave me: http://www.iluska.hu. Happy swooning!
