If you live in Bulgaria there are two great things about the month of March: martenitsi and spring.

I am desperate for spring this year. We've basically had snow for two months.  That's a lot of snow and I'm over it. I hate my winter boots and I never want to see my winter coat again. I want to break out my tan trench coat, ballerina flats and colored jeans. The only problem is that there's currently no sign of spring.

So I'm wearing mine faithfully and hoping that this will speed up the arrival of spring.

Look at all of these cute martenitsi. What's not to love?!

Now as a teacher I got a lot of martenitsi. In fact, I had a hard time picking just 10 for this post. On top of this, I received so many that after the 1st of March, I was forced to downsize. <em>I know. I know. </em>Woe is me.<em>
</em>

But really what's a girl to do?!

It's hard to do dishes. They impede your ability to type quickly and quietly. Moreover, martenitsi make it difficult to wash your hands let alone shower. So really you've got to cut back.

On March 2nd, I only wore 10. On the 3rd, seven.  Today, five. That means that by Monday the 5th I'll be down two on my wrist and one on my coat because, well, that's manageable.

I hope that spring finds each of you sooner than later.
