The more, the merrier!
Bonjour, mon amis!
The weather in Plovdiv is gloomy right now but fear not! I will brighten your day with my collection of 41 remarkable inspirational quotes plus a set of my recent photographs of Plovdiv – my lovely hometown. For extra incentive I’ve included links to Bulgarian artist Stoyan Stoynov’s website and YouTube account, where you can view his amazing artwork; and to the Facebook page of an amazing place for arts, crafts, books and more, where magical things happen, which, as a craftsperson myself, I absolutely adore – “Rakodelnicata” (“Ръкоделницата”).
