After Jen and I watched some high school soccer yesterday morning (it was a beautiful weekend to be outside!), Meg and I headed to my favorite market - the HongQiao flower market. I broke down and shelled out the bucks to buy an oil painting I'd been admiring all year. And then we found two orange throw pillows to match! I also got a little black-brown ceramic stool for my entryway, and some pretty orange wine glasses that will carry the new orange decorating scheme into the dining area. After I got home, I googled "orange pillow" and found this -

for $64.95. But mine -

was only 45 RMB -- that's $6.42!!! Yay for good deals in China! After we unpacked our goodies at home, Meg and I headed over to the river for a German dinner at Paulaner and for some pictures on the Bund.

$6 pillows AND Paulaner beer and pretzels?! That's like the best day ever!
I can't believe you would tell us about an oil painting that you've been eyeing all year and then not post a picture of it! ;) Do share!
The painting is too much right now. I have to tone it down, so I went to the fabric market yesterday and ordered chocolate brown curtains... and a blanket... and a super cute trench coat... :-) I'll show you soon, I promise!
I LOVE deals like that! Can't wait to see a pic of the painting.

Hey Jen! When are we going to get more China updates? I check often and to no avail. Hope you are well.
