China Souvenirs!

Here is a bunch of the stuff I bought. A few things are mine, but most is for other people.

Tea…chrysanthemum, jasmine, and green


Panda thimble (my mother collects thimbles)


Panda cell phone charm (those are huge here)


Wood earrings


Hong Kong shot glasses


Another purse


Oympic tshirts (and in the lower corner is my “I climbed the Great Wall” tshirt)


Silk robes


Silk panda tie for my dad


China keychains and magnet


Long necklaces (they double around). I couldn’t decide what color I liked, so I bought three.


Pearls for my mother in a silverish-lavender color (I missed her birthday)


Hong Kong tshirts


Some Chinese hanging thing that’s going on my rearview


Strands of beads and pearls that need to be restrung with clasps. The pearls match the bracelet, earrings, and ring I bought at the pearl market in Beijing, and the beads I just thought were fun looking.


Cloisonné ornaments


Louis Vuitton change purse/keyholder


Chopsticks with silk slipcovers


DVDs


A fat happy Buddha


An extendable pipe


Magnets from the Shanghai Museum, since mother is obsessed with blue & white china


Tea mugs (there’s a strainer inside) that change design when filled with boiling water. One becomes a panda picture, the other has a landscape.


Horse scroll, one of two I bought (for my three-day-eventing roommates)

I join the ranks of people who buy them “horse stuff” because of their job/hobby.
