Whenever the mailman comes asking for a signature for a box from China, I get a little giddy.
I love seeing the new charms that come in–charms for children still waiting in China whose mothers will wear that charm everyday until the child comes home, charms for Chinese girls who are getting older and whose families want to give them a gift to celebrate their story, charms for mothers who want to wear their child’s name proudly and share about the journey of adoption to anyone who asks.
And, sometimes, I get to see some new handiwork to try selling. And, I’m pretty excited about these that just arrived.
One of the Chinese names for owls is “xiao.” The characters representing “xiao” are also used in expressions relating to ferocity and bravery. Perfect for my two girls.
And, Helen also sent a few of these
I bought a similar fish purse while we were in China–super cute!
