@30pics4jackiesdiamond Lol, no Jackie they are all sets of Russian Dolls not one set - I have a few!

@ludwigsdiana It is interesting what they are called in different countries, I know them as either Russian Dolls or Matroyskas - I have a few sets, this is not all!!

@fbailey Thank you Felicity, there is a lovely story that goes with the biggest set - which has actually come all the way from Russia

Do tell the story of big one!!

@30pics4jackiesdiamond We were at Spring Harvest - which is a huge Christian convention - a few years ago and a charity working with children in Russia ran a quiz, there were two prizes of these large 8-doll Matroyska Doll sets. I won one of them and when asked what I would do with it said that I was a Play Therapist and used them regularly in therapy with children. The charity worker was amazed because the other winner had already collected her prize and cried as she told him about the memories she had of using one of these when she was in Play Therapy as a child........ What were the chances of that???

Love the photo and the story makes it even more interesting. Glad you shared it.

@365anne what a great story Anne! the history of the Kokeshi doll is also very interesting. It is believed they were first sold to visitors in the Tohoku region between 1600-1868 :-)

Fabulous collection. As a collector of bears the honey bear (looks like Winnie-the-Pooh) stands out for me.

@salza It is indeed Winnie the Pooh Sally!
