Remember last week I mentioned we had a surprise? Without further ado, let me introduce Masha and Alexander, the most charming paper dolls you've ever met, hand painted by the one and only Clayton Thompson!
He also made a little story book about Masha and Alexander, the two red-headed twins from the Ukraine.
Each one has three different outfits; play clothes, fancy clothes and a traditional Ukrainian outfit.
We had our neighbor's daughter come over and test them out. We all sat around cutting them out and trying on the different outfits. I think the adults had just as much fun as she did!
They're so completely charming and full of character; I'm in love. I'm thinking of framing the two sheets, the boy and the girl, to hang in Sam's room. They'd make such unique decorations for a kid's room.
We're selling them in the shop until December 15th if you'd like some in time to tuck into a Christmas stocking or two. You're welcome to order after then as well, but it won't make it in time for Christmas. Maybe we'll do a giveaway next week of a few sets just for fun; it is the season of giving after all!
