Traditional folk art is rich with flower patterns. These patterns would be embroidered on clothes or painted on homeware. Interesting fact is that each region in Poland has its own pattern and they are all very unique.

In Poland there is belief that if you see chimney sweep you should catch a hold of one of your clothing buttons, then look around and try to see a man in glasses. This should bring you a lot of luck coming your way ️
