Christina picked out the Big Owl Annie.  It's so CUTE. I picked out the bird.

Thank you so much for your extra gift of sweet mushroom.  

You are so talented chase!

Korean Style

Look at this!  

My sister had a short visit to Korea and she brought me some sweet gifts.

PSY CD, Cute Korean fabrics, paint your own Matryoshka doll

and Dol Hareubang from Jeju Island.

Hey sis!  You are the best!

my big sister

Oh My Goodness!

How awesome is that!  

My older sister Haewon sent me a gift.

She said she hand-sewed EVERYTHING!

I love it!

She is the one who has all the craft talent in my family.

She can make or fix anything.

Thanks sis!  You are too sweet.

nostalgic

Today my friend came over and handed me a little bag.  It was a gift from her trip.  
She and her kids came back last week from her Korea visit that lasted for two months.  

It's a beautiful figurine where a sister is carrying her little baby brother on her back with her white Korean shoes called Gomusin.  It made me a bit nostalgic. It reminds me of my favorite Korean Artist Kim young hee and her earlier art work.

The little baby carrier called Podaegi is a common thing in Korea.  All the mothers and grandmothers carry their babies on their back and cover them up with Podaegi.

I remember when Christina had a toy Podaegi that she carried her baby dolls on her back when she was little.  I try to carry my kids when they were born but I just couldn't make it work.  I ended up carrying them on my side of hips ......  maybe someday!

Thanks Inyoung!  You are such a sweet friend.
