When in Budapest, be sure to make the effort to visit Szentendre. It's a fun and inspiring place, filled with museums like micro museums. That's the kind of museum you can only enjoy through a microscope.

Speaking of micro art, I was recently at an auction at Bonhams & Butterfields in Los Angeles, California and was anxious to see the beautiful mosaics I had seen advertised. They were nowhere in sight! I then realized they were "micro" sized and needed a microscope to view.

Mark and I enjoyed an afternoon in Szentendre which is also on the Danube river and only a short train ride from Budapest. A friend suggested that we not miss this place and I'm grateful for her advice.

I recognized this craft as being Norwegian since my mother had sometimes done this type of handiwork and wondered what it was doing in Hungary.

I asked about these beautiful pieces of excellent craftsmanship and sure enough, they were just what I thought, Norwegian Hardanger. Years ago a generous Norwegian lady came to Hungary and taught the village ladies this skill and now it is a standard form of needlework in Hungary. Small world we live in, isn't it? I only wish I had invested in some of the pieces while I was there.
