In November I went to visit my talented and beautiful friend Klara Kalicz
in her home town Budapest, Hungary.
It has been my dream to visit for a very long time, and I must say I wasn't at all disappointed!!!
Everything is bleeding with taste and style
and each time I took a picture it immediately looked like a painting!
I have always resonated greatly with the Folkloric dress in Hungary,
and I will go into more detail when I post the folk items found in various museums. 
Expect the next posts to be extra image heavy,
Tooooooooooooooo many goodies that must be shown!!!
So hopefully your heart flutters as much as mine did each time
I experienced the beauty and hidden treasures of this story book of a city!!!!
