Gifts From China




My wonderful friend in Sichuan, China is so sweet to send Audrey beautiful things from her Province. Last week she sent her this brocade from The Chengdu Su Brocade & Embroidery Museum. It is hand-made, using needles and thread and over ten skills to make it. This is something so special and I will keep it forever for her! She also sent shoes, nesting dolls, and other things that Audrey will appreciate later on. She also went t the Chengdu Panda Research Center and bought Audrey the same panda I bought her there. Audrey sleeps with it and I wanted another like it just in case "pandy" was to ever get lost! Without saying to much about my friend, she is very close with Audrey's orphanage and if I have a question, she calls them and gets the information I want. She is Amazing!

Playing Catch Up!

Great Friends!
