The martenitsi in this online store are created by Bulgarian artist Irina Koleva from Stara Zagora. We are based in the United States and we ship our products within the U.S., to Canada, and to Europe. Can't wait to see the martenitsi? Click here to open the Martenitsi store! Information about the Bulgarian tradition of martenitsa and Baba Marta is available on our product page (look in the Links section). In short, Bulgarians decorate their sweaters and coats with martenitsi on March 1 for good health and good spirit, until they spot a stork (storks do show up in Bulgaria!); then they hang their martenitsi on trees. But you don't need a stork to decorate a tree with your martenitsa...
