 The Moldovans do a lot of cross stitch, rug making, knitting, and crocheting.  Here are some pictures of textiles from the National Museum, including some bits of national costume.

Wonderful Whitework

Beautiful whitework at the Moldovan national museum. There are a lot of fantastic needlewomen out in the villages.

One of the local beekeepers came to the embassy a couple of weeks ago.  I bought, of course.  Some beeswax figures to give away and some linden honey for me.
