Monday Moodboard - A Little Bit of Magic

Well, it's not the end of winter yet so I think we all need a little bit of good magic from all those ancient good forces out there, between the trees and rocks.
Maybe they are already waking up and waiting for the spring breeze to wipe away the last bit of the cold.

And off course it's already time to party, in Hungary the "farsang" has already began :)
Farsang is the time between Epiphany and Ash Wednesday full with big dinners, costume parties, yummy cakes and cookies and old folk traditions, like the Busójárás. At the last three days before the Lent like most of the catholic countries the Hungarians will celebrate carnival.
