Good Times...

I'm getting my pictures from my fall trip to Shanghai printed, very very slowly... I am always on the lookout for products that strike me as an Asian. It doesn't have to be designed specifically as an Asian line. Pebbles Inc's Linnie Bell collection is one collection that have the colors and temperament of Asian flair. This past weekend, I created this layout.

Yu Yuan Garden and Bazaar is a must-see for anyone visiting Shanghai. People from Shanghai avoid it like crazy. As if 18 million people isn't enough, half of them show up at this place on any given day of the week, and twice as many show up on weekends! But we took the Padgetts and the girls there. We had 小笼包子 at the most famous restaurant in Shanghai that serve them. It is my favorite thing to eat in the world, so I can't talk about it any more, salivating too much...

Anyway, check out that line for Asian inspiration, I definitely found it there!
