Knowing I am drawn to Russian nesting dolls, my life-long, high school girlfriend, Patti, bought three of them, among many other beautiful gifts, for my birthday.

The new girls are named Katerina, Katya and Irina.
They are very small, with the largest no more than two inches.
They will be added to the Polish-Ukrainian-Russian shelves in the living room curio cabinet.
You can read more about that transformation here: http://writingstraightfromtheheart.blogspot.com/2013/09/copy-cat-curio.html
I hope the other dolls will make them feel welcome, or, as they would say in Russia, "Dobro požalovat."
WHAT, IF ANYTHING, HAVE YOUR HEARD ABOUT RUSSIAN NESTING DOLLS?

Hi: I love nesting dolls. I have a few myself, I will have to share. I always look forward to hearing from you. You make the week start out just right. Thank you for singing to me today. I could hear your beautiful voice as you sung. Hugs, Martha
Hi, Susan! I am Russian :) So obviously I have heard about Russian dolls! And they are adorable :) Though I don't own even one!Shame, I know. I was thinking of crocheting one, let's see.
Nesting dolls is one of the most peculiar things you can find in Russian, they sell them everywhere, and they sometimes cost a lot!In Moscow you can go to Arbat street, and there will be a variety of Russian dolls in the shops.
Hello from Spain: I also collect Russian dolls. I like a lot. In my country say that these dolls bring luck and wealth. Keep in touch
Those little beauties are unique.
I have a set of those that I bought when I visited in Poland...they are so cute. Even my grandchildren who are BOYS love to take them apart.
My daughter gave me a set of Russian nesting dolls one year and now, they are perfect for a toddler toy and even my older grandkids still like to play with them. I actually have a small Polish nesting doll set as well but I have lost the itty bitty one - it sits on my Polish shelf.
Hi Susan! What precious little dolls!
I was just in St. Petersburg this summer, and nesting dolls were everywhere. All different kinds, even football teams from the states! It was wild.
Such fun for kids, and for adults too :)
Happy Birthday to you! (belated)

These are adorable! My mom had one of those when I was a child. I loved the little tiny one in the middle! Happy birthday Susan!

Those are so cute Susan!
Happy belated Birthday! Hope you had a good day. :) These dolls are so cute. I haven't heard much about them other than where they originated. I think they are interesting.
Have a great week!
Hi Susan, they are delightful!!! I just love your header collage...it is so warm and beautiful.
I was always amazed by them as a little girl...I do not know the history of them.
