Slovak embroidery patterns

I decided to take advantage of the fashion for folk patterns and show you

my collection of postcards from Slovakia.

This post is the first part of the folk themes.

 

I really like the patterns of folk and especially on postcards :)

 

 

Postcards show embroidery patterns on folk costume sleeves.

Postcards are great.

 

 

 

This postcard reminds me of  Christmas and snow flakes :)

 

 

 

I think the Ladies of this postcard will be happy to danced "waka waka" :)

 

All cards I got From Zuzana, for which I thank her :)
