This is for a one-of-a-kind 5 piece set of hand-painted Wooden Nesting Dolls.  This set is called "Popsicle Smiles."  It was inspired by eating popsicles in the warm weather and also by an adorable popsicle design reusable shopping bag from Publix as pictured.  I've had it for many years and every summer it goes into the shopping bag rotation.  People are always commenting how cute it is, so I thought I'd create a whole set of smiling popsicles to share more summertime joy!
 
These wooden nesting dolls were just  a plain wooden set and now they have a joyful new design!  The inside is still beautiful unfinished wood and the new design has been painted on by hand with acrylic paint.  Once all of the painting is done, they are then varnished for protection, durability, and shine.  Be sure to read the Caring for your Nesting Dolls Section so that you can take good care of them and treasure them for many years!
 
The popsicles painted onto each nesting doll are as follows from the largest to the smallest size:
 
~  A nostalgic bomb pop is painted on one side and a classic double orange popsicle is painted on the the other side with a lavendar background.
 
~  A neopolitan popsicle is on one side and on the other side is a red cherry popsicle with a light blue background.
 
~  A vanilla ice cream pop with dripping chocolate is on one side and a colorful rainbow pop is on the other side with a light pink background.
 
~  A striped teal & orange pop is on one side and a pink & purple halved pop is on the other side with a yellow background.
 
~ One tiny orange creamsicle is painted on each side with a bright green background!
 
If you are having a rough day, just take a look at these smiling popsicles and smile back!  When you surround yourself with things that bring you joy, it's easy to feel more joyful everyday!
 
These nesting dolls are quite petite in size with the largest one measuring about 3-3/4 inches tall and the very smallest one at around 3/4 inches tall.  They are very high quality and fit snugly together... the fun is trying to match them back up when you do want to put them all back together.  You can either display them all lined up as in the photos or you can display them nested together so that the inside ones remain a surprise to anyone who opens them!
 
Every piece of art includes a Joy Challenge, so I hope you are ready for a little challenge to inspire even more joy!  I will also include a few inspirational goodies to bring more JOY to your day!
