When we were in Korea we bought some pretty lacquered jewel boxes for our granddaughters Gaby and Katy. The boxes are inlaid with mother of pearl Cranes. The crane is the symbol for good luck in Korea. These are made by hand and the workmanship is excellent. Even up close the cut work is very clean and smooth. The girls seemed very pleased that we brought them back something nice from our trip. They are very sweet girls and are fond of their step dad David. He is a lucky fellow. We were invited to stay for dinner. Wow, Renee is a wonderful cook. Dave is a VERY lucky fellow, and so are we.

Those boxes are stunning. I'm so glad your granddaughters enjoyed them! Been longing to come take a peek at your trip!
Love the cranes! What a nice treasure to bring back - I'm sure the girls will treasure them always. Sounds like you have a great family.
