...Please excuse my silence - I was hoping to post again last week and list the babushkas on Etsy shortly after, but instead, my children and I spent pretty much all of last week in bed trying to get over strep throat... to make matters even more trying, I was "single parenting" during most of this strep throat bout as Mr. Rosehip was out of town on a business trip -- OK, so you're getting the picture -- right?! A week I'll gladly forget!
Nevertheless, I'm on the mend now, and ready to list the babushkas tomorrow on Etsy. While this may seem a little short notice, I would like to list them in my Etsy shop ASAP because I'll be out of town all of next week, from March 23-29, and given your very enthusiastic response to my last post, and the fact that some of you have been waiting so patiently for my shop to open, I really feel that listing them is long overdue! Because I'll be away next week, I would like to also have as much time as possible before Sunday to take care of any shipping...
So, if all goes according to plan -- meaning, no children-related interruptions (my kids are at home as they are off for spring break) and no technical mess-ups (I thought I had lost all my babushka photos specially prepared for the shop about one hour ago - my mood wasn't pretty!) -- I will start listing them tomorrow, Wednesday, March 19th, at 1:00 pm (Pacific time) in my Etsy shop. I'm pretty excited about it all and I hope you are too! Wish me luck!
I hope you are feeling better now. Can´t wait to snoop one of those cuties for my nursery. Will keep on the guard for your etsy shop to open.

I stop to tell you Hi, and immediately spotted your babushka-matreshkas’! They are so delightful! They make me smile, partly because they are so cute, and partly because I am so Russian.

Looks like you're selling them as fast as you can list them! YAY! So happy for you...

They are fantastic looking Beata! They are simply going to flie out the door. Congratulation with your Etsy! I am so happy for you, and I am shure it will be a huge success.
I want to wish you a safe and nice trip and do enjoy the Easter with lots of love and cosyness!
