It's the Saturday before Thanksgiving.  Have enjoyed a lazy morning of drinking coffee and watching the sun dance on the water behind our house.  Have been reflecting on how blessed we are in this world with beautiful sights, friends, family and knowing that good always wins over evil.  Thank you from The Pearl Girl of Charleston for your support while getting my "pearls on the ground" with my new business. Have a wonderful week filled with much love and good food!

Did I tell you I got to learn how to make noodles in October while visiting Jiaxing?!  Tim and I were treated to lunch one day at a new noodle shop that specializes in making foods from X'ian city (home of the famous terra-cotta warriors).  Called "belt noodles", that is exactly what they look like, and are SO delicious cooked in soups and broths.  I love them.  We keep saying we should open a noodle shop in Charleston...

Back from the pearl markets of Shanghai and have a beautiful fresh supply of pearls to offer you for your holiday shopping.  Was so hard to walk away from the shops and leave some behind!
