I especially like the socks and little shoes. Romania is in the Carpathian Mountains. It is a very rural and beautiful place. The old traditional homes have beautiful quilts and embroidery linens hanging from shelves and on the walls. Attachments:

I'll bet those would keep you toasty warm in the winter!

Let me tell you a story, I'm living in Bulgaria, neighbours to Romanian, and in our village the Baba's (grannies) knit socks for people in the village, I have socks, slippers, hats and a jumper (not a fashion statement) but so generous and they are very warm :-)

Oh, yes. I remember all the Babas that used to come to my grandmother's house. They had all sorts of handwork and wore head kerchiefs. They wore a lot of black. But my grandmother never dressed like that. She loved colorful clothes and never wore any head covering. I couldn't understand the language, so I just listened for a few words that I knew. Loved it when they brought records to play and would sing songs from the old country. I really miss that atmosphere.

Cool Nada. There's definitely a specific style going on there with the curled up toes. Do they still wear them there?
