hello dolly

The day started off with the Moravé Slovacko Muzeum (in Uherské Hradiště) which had very informative displays about kroje, handicrafts, and farming tools. Of course the kroje were my favrite part! I am amazed at how many different styles there are and how specific the designs were from town to town, whether it be a different colored ribbon or the way their scarf is tied on their head. We also visited a doll fatory in Uherské Brod where we got to see some of the doll-making process including sewing hair into the head, sewing tiny but ornate patterns on tiny clothes, pleating miniature aprons, and dressing the dolls. My mom and I bought small ones from the Plzen and Chodsko regions. After that we drove to Rožnov pod Radhoštěm in the Beskydy Mountains for two nights. More about that in the next blog!
