Babushkas

On Friday I went to a shop in Darling Harbour called Babushkas.
It actually has HUNDREDS of Babushka Dolls! (Babushka is: 1. Russian for 'Grandmother' and 2. A very hard word to type!!) Babushka dolls are those hand painted, wooden dolls that fit inside each other. Here is a picture of my own set of Babushkas:


So anyway, I went in to this shop. Since it has recently been Easter, there was a table of hand painted Easter eggs. I thought I would take some photos to show you because they were much better looking than my dyed eggs!


These are real egg shells with paint, wax and string decoration.


These are wooden egg shells with designs carved into them.


Aren't they amazing!
Next year I am definitely buying some of these!!
