From Russia, With Love

Earlier this year, I had a friend that did a little traveling and brought me back some beautiful gifts. I don't want to get too picture heavy in posting, so I think I'll break them up into several, and of course leaving my favorite for last. =D

Ok, so we'll start here:
I love the painting done on this! It's a bit set-off from the wood and so you can feel all the little dots. The colors are nice and bright, and it's just so well painted. I love it!!!

 A close up:


These little guys were anxious to get out. =)


And they even have their own tiny tree!

Aren't they cute?  =D

Hope you are having a great week so far!  =)
