A little taste of Russia

A little taste of Russia

From the moment I met my husband and then his family I started discovering Russia as a country with its rich tradition and the past. I would like to show some of very few items I managed to get during my trips to Moskow, plus some of the pictures too :)

It would be great to find somebody who shares my passion for this culture.

Russian Khokhloma for the first time was created in 17th century in the province Nizhegorodskaya. Even now when you can find it in every part of Russia and also in Middle Asia, India, Australia and USA, the production procedures are still the same as they were 400 years ago.

Beautiful pictures.
I love the black hat and specially the blue one. It suits her so beautifully. All the pictures are very pleasant to look at.
