Matryoshka doll meets Silver Fox! by maggiemae

Matryoshka doll meets Silver Fox!

Now this is a real Russian doll given to me by my mother after her Russian visit to her sister, way back in the 1960’s! To tie it up she , Ekaterina, is wallowing in the fox fur also left to me by my Mum. Mum died in 2000! Remembering my mother…..
Three good things:
1. Ekaterina, our sweet Russian lady is gasping for air here and awaiting her boyfriend, Georgy to save her from being totally enveloped!
2. Georgy is too busy practicing his Cossack dance! He’s confused as to which leg to wrap around his other and has fallen over in a decidedly Russian mess!
3. I liked the way this beautiful thick, golden fur looked in B&W!
ooooh! a new adventure in the offing. can't wait to read all!

@summerfield Wasn't meant to be but now that you mention it....................

I am with Vikki @summerfield and shall eagerly await hearing more about Ekaterina's adventures.

How wonderful to have such physical memories of your mum. They make a terrific photograph and if a story develops all the better.
September 23rd, 2016  
Haha, love number two of three good things.

Ekaterina makes a cute, comforting picture wrapped in silver fox, but I'm not sure about all the other shenanigans going on behind this scene!

@jaffacakes You only have shenanigans in Ireland, Julie! In Russia they are called revolutions!

Wonderful memories of your mother.
I'm looking forward to seeing Ekaterina's adventures.

Tiny Ekaterina is almost swamped in the fur, but, I eagerly await the next installment !! Will Georgy stop practicing & rescue her ?? Love the concept & the fox fur does look luxuriant ! Fav

@happysnaps I think Georgy has got the dizzy's now and is recovering with the help of some vodka!
September 23rd, 2016  
I could sink into that fur too, you would never get out of there alive!
Two new characters, I wonder if they will meet up with Yolanda & Mr Man one day. Georgy has timed his dancing well on the night of the first Strictly Come Dancing competition in the UK. He wants to join in the action. He needs to watch & pick up some good moves, quite a few Russian professionals on.

Lovely gift from your mum to treasure & she would probably enjoy the story!
September 23rd, 2016  
@happypat Imagine that fur around your neck, Pat! I wish I could wear it nowadays! Only for fancy dress it seems. Georgy Peorgy might have to pull his socks up for Strictly Come Dancing!
September 23rd, 2016  
@happypat The doll is not in good shape really, Pat. I bought another one in Russia on my last trip!

This picture is So good and my granddaughter loves a set of the dolls I've had for thirty years but I've never touched

Like that this might develop into another interesting story with your doll and her friend. nice to have some gifts from your mom to treasure.
September 24th, 2016  
cool
September 24th, 2016  
How interesting!
September 24th, 2016  
@congaree Its nice to know that you find this noteworthy John! I do try to do stuff that is not normal!
September 24th, 2016  
@bruni Well this doll is pretty small and hiding inside another, Bruni, as you can imagine! Who knows what might eventuate!
September 24th, 2016  
Hmmmm, fox fur, I'm a bit anti but I guess years ago it was the thing and as a memory from your Mum it must be a lovely thing to have. I like how soft it looks in this shot xx
September 24th, 2016  
@psychographer You are really the same as most people nowadays! But this one was before all that and I would really like to wear it. Not got enough nerve though!
September 24th, 2016  
this is rather comfy.
September 24th, 2016  
@yaorenliu I think she would be like a pussycat and just relax and let the warmth and softness envelope her but.....
September 24th, 2016  
Something's about to happen very soon to matryoshka from what I see. Beautiful fair coat - not very popular with the younger generation nowadays.
September 24th, 2016  
@sangwann You have that feeling, Dione- poor lady - she's on a downward spiral I'm afraid!
September 24th, 2016  
looking forward to how this story unfolds
September 24th, 2016  
Great B W and treasures to keep
September 24th, 2016  
Items to cherish with wonderful memories

Super shot. Fav.
September 24th, 2016  
it is a lovely shot to share maggie
September 24th, 2016  
All she needs is a bear rug in front of a fire place now and she's all set to catch the attention of silly Gregory!
September 25th, 2016  
@olivetreeann Good idea, Ann - I shall now go out and shoot a bear rug!
September 25th, 2016  
nice processing
September 27th, 2016  
Having just spent an enjoyable quarter of an hour, reading Ekaterina's adventures, I can't help feeling she would have been better off staying snugly in the fox fur. But, then, what is life without adventures?
