The town of Sergei Posad is also the home of the Matrioshka or Nesting Dolls. Several of the ladies who work at the orphanage also make the dolls and they brought them to the orphanage to sell to us. I bought all my dolls here; I might have paid less for them later at the market in Moscow but I wanted to help these ladies and to be able to say that the ones I bought were made in the toy capitol of Russia. They were all beautiful - it was hard to choose which ones I wanted to bring home!
