two things i love around my home

Today's favorite things are these two Russian matryoshka, or nesting dolls. The largest one was given to me yesterday by my auntie-in-law, Amy, who got a few the last time she went to Russia. I love them and wouldn't mind having more!

If you'd like to play along, you can link up on Kassi's blog.

A few other things... The lovely sisters at mucho mucho bueno bueno are having another awesome giveaway! And speaking of giveaways, I hope to have one either this weekend of early next week for a little tiny terrarium. You remember how I told you that my grandma got me a jump rope? Well, it worked my butt...literally, so if you're looking for a new exercise that's fun, I suggest the old childhood favorite!

    Kassi, I thought I'd be able to jump for a long time, but man does it start to wear me out quick! I started to skip rope up the road yesterday but didn't make it as far as I thought I could. Later yesterday afternoon I did several types of jumps for 5 minutes each. I can feel it today.

    There's a place I'm going in the Russian Hill district of SF the next time I go (which may be in May) and I'm getting more nesting dolls there, even if they aren't the originals from Russia!

    Maddy, the Russian leaders sound so neat! Do you have a picture?

    Oh I love nesting dolls, i am even considering getting one as a tattoo.
    I love my skipping rope, it wears me out so quickly, i should try and do it for 5 minutes a day.

    i love your nesting dolls! do you keep any treasures in them?

    i am SO behind in blog reading i feel overwhelmed. Don't you hate that feeling? but yours.. oh your lovely corner of the internet is a daily MUST! just so you know ;)

    it is GREAT to be back in VA and see all the snow gone! lol i missed it. what do you know? i'm more of a virginian than i thought ;)

    THANK YOU so much for your sweet words at my nasty commenter... i was really taken back. but c'est la vie... letting them get to me is exactly what they want right? and to each his own.

    I CAN'T WAIT for you to give a terrarium! and jumping for heart-- did you ever do that in grade school? :)
