Veliko Tarnovo's Treasures

I am totally smitten with these adjustable recycled leather bracelets that I found at the Ethno-Shop in Veliko Tarnovo, north central Bulgaria. One is typically looking for gold when on the trail of Thracian treasure, but these simple accessories seem true to the resourceful spirit and functional craft of this hilltop region.
