oh my goodness, this is such a wonderful post and blast back to my childhood. i just emailed your link to my mom, who collects these.
just so cute!
This is a very fine set of matryoshkas that you have put together!
Here is a few more
unusual matryoshka dolls to add to your collection.
Thanks for this post. I love Matryoshka dolls. I give them to my granddaughters and tell them they are the biggest doll, and their mom and grandmothers are the littler dolls. They carry all the hopes and dreams, talents and gifts of all the women that have gone before them, who loved them before they were born.
i've just discovered your blog and i must say it's great! i find it really inspiring...
and this post... i just love Matryoshkas since my uncle brought me one from Russia when i was like four years old. i think they are a wonderful present for kids! and the ones you've mentioned here... to die for :o)
I love matryoshkas! I got some recently from these guys for my mum which are gorgeous.
