i need to work. it is piling up. instead, i will finish my coffe and share with you:

• a mix i love in this traditional russian dress from the amazing site finnish museums online.
• a czech poster for the russian film "barbara the fair with the silken hair," from here, via marya's beautiful pinterest. also marya's post on finnish artist klaus haapaniemi. that scarf and bat ornament are fantastic.
• a five-leaf clover growing outside my door. that's gotta be lucky, no?
