Today’s helping of Sweet and Pretty is actually a collection or treasury of items discovered by Bella of Allami. While the grouping is definitely inspired by Russian matryoshka dolls (you know, the nesting ones you played with as a child), the items would be perfect for a nursery or little girl’s room. All well priced, these are sure to bring whimsy and delight to any princess, no matter the age.
One of the items that really got my attention was this
painted horse box by GoodWoodDogs. Other than being pink and girly and a great place to store
special trinkets, the hand crafted, hand painted pine and basswood treasure is
made by a father - daughter team. The father is a retired chemist-turned-artist. Dad does the carving, daughter does the painting.
Which I think is just great, and adds a bit of back story to the item.In a time where more and more children’s toys are mass produced, it’s so nice to see hand-made items with care and attention to detail . . .and no batteries required.
What a great collection :)! I adore the Russian dolls! So cheerful.
