    Hello! I was wondering if there are any native French (or quebecois?) speakers here that could be talked into helping me with correcting a one-page summary of my MA thesis in French. As said, it's only one page, and I would be ever so grateful since my French isn't as fluent as it used to be...

    I've got about five very beautiful hand embroidered Romanian peasant blouses from my mother who worked as a travel guide in the Eastern bloc in the 1970's, they look rather like these. I've never worn them because I'm just not into the 70's boho hippie look, but now it's occured to me that...
