Custom Nesting Dolls @ Belleslettres on Etsy

I’m always on the lookout for things that I can use with Lexi to familiarize her with our family.  Being from the Midwest and East Coast, but living on the West Coast, we have no family around.  It is one of our great struggles to figure out how to make sure that Lexi feels that connection to her family when they are so far away.  I’ve got the photo album which we look at every day. BUT this…..THIS is the motherload of family fun I’ve been looking for!

Belleslettres on Etsy will create your own one of a kind nesting dolls with the images of your choice.  Each set of 10 nesting dolls comes with a hard, matte, decoupage finish and ranges in size from .5 to 10 inches tall.   And while unquestionably, a pretty penny, it is sure a lot cheaper than an airline ticket home during the holidays!
