more pottery in Beijing….

11 March 2014 - 

We – Sam, Frances, Jen & I – went on a shopping excursion to Beijing.  We found some goodies (oil paintings!) in the Yashow Market before heading over to Lily's Antiques.  I love Lily's but I don't love the exorbinant prices!  Fortunately the ENTIRE area around Lily's is chock-full of shops selling similar items.  :-)

Like this shop I absolutely adore:IMG_0723

Check out these four cute Buddha statues that came home with us:

We each got one of the statues. Here's mine after I brought him home:IMG_0740

And here he is today:
