Little Russian stacking dolls
Made of wood
One beneath the other looking
Just the same as each beneath it
Like a cozy family
Close just like they should
How long have they been together
Some long time
Got them at a yard sale they were
Sitting off no one had noticed
Lucky I did though as they
Only cost a dime
MOST OF THE TIME, THE TRUE 'VALUE' OF SOMETHING IS ONLY APPRECIATED THAT ONE WHO 'VALUES' IT. THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY LOVELY! THANKS FOR SHARING WITH MUCH LOVE, BLESSINGS & A ABUNDANCE OF FAITH TO YOU...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS
Wow! What a bargain. I'd like to see you with them on Antique Roadshow.
For some silly reason I thought of King Tutankhamun. When the boy king was buried, they enclosed his mummified body in a beautiful gold covered casket of his image fully dressed. They encased that casket with another with his image, fully dressed. And so on, for a total of seven caskets. Unfortunately, the last three or so did not have his likeness on them. While decorated, they were basically boxes. The last one was very large as I recall, looking more like a container that goes on many ships these days. But, they are much like your little Russian dolls.
What a bargain and clearly meant only for you. I once bought one of these dolls for my mother, many, many years ago (and not for a dime!) when I was travelling through Russia, in the old days, behind the Iron Curtain. Charming poem, for me, resurrecting lost memories. Thank you, Jane. John

Love these Russian stacking dolls. There were Russian stacking dolls
at the shop where I worked. Beautiful and intricate the details.
Expensive has all. You've got a goldmine with one dime. Great yard
sale find! I went to one in a town close by. Found some bargains!
Love to yard sale! Lovely poem Jane!
