It was a chilly weekend here in Ann Arbor, Michigan; we are surely in the throngs of deep winter. To ward off oncoming cabin fever, a few friends and I paid a visit to the pub and shops on Main street yesterday. After a warm vegetable boxty and a few sips of an ale, we popped into the boutiques where I happened upon this charming babushka pepper mill, isn't she adorable?

While Babushka-style nesting dolls are typically thought of as a Christmas item, I've seen a few clever ones that beg to be shown all winter. The bright, bold colors are spirit lifters, and the northern charm goes perfectly with the black and white winter landscape. These are contemporary ones, but the more common Russian dolls, especially vintage, are heartwarming too. Suddenly, I feel like I'm 6 again, sitting on the floor, playing with a simple wooden toy. - l.o.d.
