Ghosts of the past

This spontaneous trip to the east of Poland took me back in time... At least I felt like that.

This time I was visiting an open-air museum of the Polish countryside. This buildings are from XVIII and XIX century but polish people lived like that since middleages I assume :).

For this ocasion I decided to hand-sew a dress that was inpiried by folk fashion. It's the yellow dress from the second photo. I think I did a quiet good job. Keep in mind I only had two days to finish it. It still needs a few adjustments tho.

This past few days I finally had nothing to do and I could walk around this museum all day. Being there alone was a strange feeling. Sitting in those old houses I almost felt the presence of the previous owners. It was creepy so I decided to photoshopped a few "ghosts" in the windows, because that's where I felt them the most. I was imagining myself living in this old village and taking care of the plants and animals, because there were a lot of them. I know it probably wasn't so great at the time but I like to romanticize this kind of lifestyle. I was making friends with a lot of sheeps, goats, horses, rabbits and even donkeys! I must say tgat the geese and chickens wasn't as friendly but that's okay ;).

Last day was a potato day. I know it sounds funny but it was actually a small historical festival with a lot of fun activities! On that day I also took a boat and went swimming on a lake with my dog. It was her first time but she really enjoyed it! I wish I took some photos of that to the family album...

I hope that you'll feel the amazing energy of this place through my photos! Love you all <3
