Mărțișor at the British Library

I haven't been to the British Lib in a while now. I'm at a point with my dissertation in which I would have to carry too many things with me. But I started my chapter on Young People as Readers and had to 'consult' a book from there. This is how I'm starting my Spring.

The Mărțișor is a Romanian tradition, my favourite tradition. On the first day of Spring, women wear these red & white strings with all sorts of symbols attached. Originally, it's a brooch, but since the bracelets started emerging, I prefer those. The symbols I'm wearing are a four-leaf clover and a chimney sweep.

For a literary and peaceful Spring!
