Folksy Friday - Babushka, Babushka, Babushka.

The first Russian nested doll set was carved by Vasily Zvyozdochkin from a design by Sergey Malyutin, who was a folk crafts painter. The doll set was painted by Maliutin himself. Maliutin's design was inspired by a set of Japanese wooden dolls representing Shichi-fuku-jin, the Seven Gods of Fortune.
Wonderful choices!! Thanks for featuring mine!!!

Love those bags!
I love them all, I'm a teeny bit obsessed with matryoshkas (hence the post!) I think the nesting embroideries is a great idea, it's amazing all the different things you come across under one subject!
Great picks...love the notebook but then i lurve writing lists ;0)
