Classic

This picture speaks for itself.

Chinese Fashion . . . well, if you can call it that.



We spotted this fashion disaster in Beijing last weekend. I've heard of matching your belt and your shoes, but do you have to match your hair color to your outfit too???? And who walks around with an empty birdcage? I about fell over laughing when this walked by!

Martha Stewart you have met your match!


These are my new vases from the Dirt Market along with some other little items I picked up. I went with Shannon to the Flower Market and we got these gorgeous lilies and roses. I hate to brag - but it looks good!!!! Just call me the Chinese Martha Stewart!!!

Dirt Market

Last weekend we went to Beijing on the Bullet Train. We did tons of fun things but my favorite was the Dirt Market. In chinese is it called Panjiayuan Juihuo Shichang. It might possibly be my favorite place on the planet right now.
Like my new Ray Ban sunglasses? I got 'em at the Silk street market. These pictures are just from the antique portion of the market. We went thru it and thought this was fantastic. Then later that day when we were trying to get somewhere completely different, the cab driver brought us to the other side of the market. It is giagantic!!! We walked down one more aisle and then had to leave.

I love just the piles of old pottery. I dug thru and got myself a few vases to put fresh flowers in from the flower market.

Aaryn, in his new shades, carrying all of my purchases (from the first aisle). I had to stop because we couldn't carry anymore, but there was a huge bowl that I REALLY wanted - I am still thinking about it 4 days later so it must have been great.
Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I've been very busy and youtube is still down here. Don't worry, there will be a flood on posts once I can get my videos loaded.
