Matryoshka


Nature, motherhood, and the circle of life...did you know that's what these nesting Russian dolls represent? It's true...they're called Matryoshka, and it's possible you yourself have owned a set of 'em at sometime in your life...perhaps you received yours as a vacation memento from good ol' Aunt Mildred, or maybe Granny had a set in her knick-knack cabinet which you wished you could play with but touching them was not allowed! Well, now you can get your very own set and play with them all you want! First created over 100 years ago, Matryoshka are still being made today...and by some very talented artisans, I might add. Here are some of my favorites...they're just wonderful, don'tcha think?
