Happiness

Happiness when children craft, paint and play

Happiness when parents and grandparents join in the creative fun

Happiness when a seven year old's art work looks like this

Happiness when a spontaneous photo session before a school parade turns out like this

and happiness when lovingly-prepared horse costumes

are worn with such grace and beauty

A huge thank you to the Residents of Zhuchkov for letting me share some of their creativity with you. From what I can make out these talented Russian children come from an artistic family (mum and dad are a designer and an architect) and their journal relates their holiday in the country this summer. I have seldom seen such magic on the web. The spirit of childhood captured in a handful of posts. Not a mid-century chair, designer outfit or expensive toy in sight. Just children being children catching the wind.
