Wrap yourself in vibrant folk patterns and feel the joy of Maslenitsa as we bid farewell to winter together!
In the heart of winter’s chill, I find joy in guiding my clients to infuse their homes with the spirit of Maslenitsa. This traditional Russian festival heralds the end of the cold season, and through my work, I help bring its warmth inside.
