Tree Ornament of the Day #10



I bought this little Russian doll years ago at the opera. What impressed me most was the detail on such a small ornament, especially in the face, which you can see better below. Does she look like an Anna Karenina? Or a Tatyana? Either way, she's ready for the snow, which is still holding off here.

  2. She is beautiful. Look at the details in her face, such exquisite features.
    I hope snow will arrive for you soon.;) Our yesterday snowfall was magical. Todays snowfall is less appreciated as it caused traffic chaos. ;)

  4. No not Anna. She looks too cheerful to throw herself in front of a train.

    Nice collection of ornaments you have, G.
