By Karyn Dubravetz

And on a somewhat related note to my last post, Russian stuff, I just came across the Facebook page for Cyrillicwear – the new and improved version of the “Kiss me I’m Russian” T-shirt, though I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a “Kiss me I’m Russian” T-shirt…

So, what do you guys think? If nothing else, it could help you learn that pesky cyrillic alphabet?

If you’re interested, you can check out their website or blog.

Russian stuff

By Karyn Dubravetz

Today I am one step closer to being prepared for my trip to Russia because I now have the perfect “diddy bag”. (“Diddy bag” is a term that was used in my home growing up. I always thought it was annoying, but now it seems to be the best thing to call this bag.)

Anyway, I found it on ModCloth.com. They call it the “Bag in the U.S.S.R.” – cute! After I bought it, I saw that the website sells some other cool Russian stuff. Click on the photos to buy.

I couldn’t help but notice these plates. Not only because they are so cute, but also because my husband and I received them as a wedding gift almost 3 years ago! (Thanks, Jeannie!)

An interesting use for all those Matryoshka dolls I picked up in Russia. (But who’s Bubby?)

Fun fact: If you would call this a babushka in English, that’s because the word babushka, in Russian, means grandmother. But it’s not babushka, it’s babushka.

Okay, happy shopping!! Let me know if you try any of these items out!
