She looked for examples of Folklore

They were hard to find - in fact some people seemed to be ashamed of the old culture - preferring the moda coming in from the west.
It was easy to find a pair of levis, a big mac, and some johnny walker black.

Ala Francia rather than ala Turkska, she thought.

She finally found the traditional Macedonian costumes with a friend's help in a museum.
They were beautiful - - woven fabrics that told the story of each village, special tassels or scarves hanging from the hips, with metal threads and beautiful colors, coins and beads dangling from the fine metal hats, coins layered across the chest to display great family wealth.

As she looked at the costumes she could imagine the sounds of the men and women walking and dancing.

People must surely still have the costumes carefully wrapped and stored in a closet or perhaps in the wooden bride's chest.
