nesting dolls and a funny story

When were dating my husband went to Europe with his friends for a few weeks. I was left home to wait for his calls, and it was torture. I made him promise to bring me back really good gifts. 

While I was envisioning a something unique and beautiful, he was envisioning something else. He brought me home a Manchester United soccer jacket and a set of matroshkya dolls painted like snow white and the seven dwarves. Now that I write this I kind of, sort of can't believe I married him. I think I about died of laughter and disappointment when I opened those up. 

I do however love nesting dolls, so I when I found these, I was a little excited. I can imagine all the lovely ways these could be used. I think I'll order a set to store all my office goodies in. 

Oh and by the way my husband has gotten to be a better gift giver since then. 5 years of marriage and an opinionated wife will do that to you! 

I still have those Snow white dolls in storage. Any takers? They're just too ugly to have sentimental value for me!
