More Pix from the Jade Factory

Again, not nearly enough pictures to really convey the beauty of the Jade factory. So many stunning works of art an jewelry and crafts. We bought some items for Gigi, including a lovely jade pendant for when she is much older, an amazing glass teapot that has pandas and scenery painted on the INSIDE of the glass. BEAUTIFUL!! The girl who does it has been doing it since she was 10 and learned from her father. We also bought another glass item with a rat on it because Gigi was born in 2008, the year of the rat. The girl even painted Gigi's name in chinese on fhe inside of the glass on both items. We also got a few other items. We plan to give Gigi a gift from China every year on her birthday (along with whatever other gifts we get her). We also got some other goodies at other stores and, I am quite sure we will buy more stuff since we are here another six days!
