Jiayin Designs–New Things!

10.27.10

The fun of being involved with Jiayin Designs is getting to see and even help choose what will go on the site. I just updated the site with some new things and they are so neat.

Just look at this adorable Tiger change purse. Look at all that hand stitching. Hours and hours are spent on these little things. A grandmother from Jiangsu Province hand makes the tiger stuff. Love them–such rich tradition and symbolism.
Look at these shoes. The character on the tiger head means “king.” 

We even had the lady make the tiger heads separate to put on hair clippies. Ashlyn wore hers to Chinese class last week. The teacher thought it was great. I might try to see if we can get these put on headbands if anyone is interested.

We also added this headband of plum blossoms. Did you know that plum blossoms are a symbol in China for overcoming adversity? Plum blossoms are the first blossom in spring and often blossom when there is still frost and even snow. Pretty neat.

The custom charms are the best seller from the site by far. But, all these new things are pretty cool. I may be ordering some things myself for Christmas gifts this year!

And, go check out the Rippee’s silent auction fundraisers starting today and running for a few weeks. There is a Jiayin custom charm there on auction to help them raise money for their adoption. Go bid for a good cause!

    Super Cute!!!

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
