This morning, two other moms and I went out into Guangzhou with Ann from The Red Thread - an online company that will send gifts to your child before you come to China to adopt and personal shopper. Boy, did we have fun! She is such a tiny little thing, but can she move! We stopped at the pearl market, jade market, quilt store, food store, and toy market. I think that's it, although we were moving so fast, I don't remember! I didn't get a silk filled comforter in Beijing at the silk factory, and I've been regretting it ever since. Now I'm thankful that I didn't, because Ann was able to find me one that was less than half of what I'd have paid in Beijing!
We were able to see the "real" China today. It was great!
These people were stringing the pearl necklaces that I got for all the girls.
This is literally a vat of jade bangles....
We were even treated to a tea ceremony. I love jasmine tea! I bought some green tea covered pumpkin seeds. Yummy! All in all, a very fun day! So thankful that we were able to do this. Ann is fabulous!
