Traveling Matryoshka
“A Matryoshka doll or a Russian nested doll (often incorrectly referred to as a Babushka doll – 
babushka means “grandmother” in Russian), is a set of dolls of decreasing sizes placed one inside the other. “Matryoshka” (Матрёшка) is a derivative of the Russian female first name “Matryona”, which was a very popular name among peasants in old Russia. The name “Matryona” in turn is related to the Latin root “mater” and means “mother”, so the name is closely connected with motherhood and in turn the doll has come to symbolize fertility.” Stated by Wikipedia.
Now this particular version does not offer any little mini’s inside, but what it does offer is a darling little sewing kit. Which seems to coincide with the motherly roots of the name. This is a perfect purse or desk companion. How many times have you had a button fall off, or a skirt rip? Maybe I am abnormal, but I would say at least once a week I (or someone in my general cube area) have a minor trauma that could do with a little touch-up.
If this were half sewing kit/half first aid kit it would make my Christmas gold list!
