Matryoshka Doll ~ Russian Doll

Have you seen something like this before?

They are called the Matryoshka Dolls, typical Russian gift dolls. I have bought one during my trip to Russia in January, 2007.

I'll link this post to a few websites that provide nice reviews of these delicate crafts.

If you happen to visit Russia, particularly Moscow and St. Petersburgh, don't forget to get one of these dolls as souvenirs. They are so demure and delicate, reminding me of fairy tales, princesses, princes, enchanted tales of cursed or forbidden love or something...

It's simply amazing...
