A friend of mine recently mentioned how she wished she would have picked up some
Chinese calligraphy brushes when she was visiting China. So, of course I did a Pinterest
search and immediately wished she would have picked them up for both of us!
We happen to have the most beautiful, talented, sweet, friend (did I mention brilliant?)
temporarily living in Beijing and thought we'd ask for a little favor and have her choose
some for us. We were face timing tonight and discussing them as she
was trekking around The Great Wall!
She'll be home in a few weeks, but until then I'll be dreaming of how I can style my
coffee table with them.

Aren't they gorgeous?
You can find them on ebay, etsy or flea markets, I'd love to start a collection.
I can't wait to see what she chooses for us!
Happy Spring & Happy Weekend friends!

Haha! Isn't technology amazing? I actually spoke ON MY CELL PHONE to that same friend last year while I was standing in a barn in Texas and she was walking the Great Wall. That blew my mind.
And I have just taken up calligraphy-trying to teach myself which is a challenge- and those brushes are gorgeous,
They certainly are gorgeous. I have never seen them for sale anywhere.
They are lovely. If she goes back tell her to pick some up for me too.. heehee
I have never seen Chinese calligraphy brushes Pam, they are so beautiful and what a unique thing to collect! Clearly I am living under a rock with all these gorgeous images of them incorporated into vignettes.
They are works of art and my biggest "should-have-got's" Xie Xie, Di for being our personal shopper. I second it- you are sweet, beautiful, talented, and brillant! And perfect for an import business! Safe travels.
I have also seen them at World Market and Tuesday Morning.
these are so pretty! too pretty to use but so pretty to display!
So gorgeous! I'd never heard of them before now - I hope you're able to get your hands on some! :)
I'm going to China this summer and I am definitely going to be on the hunt for these!
THey are gorgeous Pam! I want one for myself too!
I need a friend in China! :) I've always loved those brushes!

Thanks for the inspiration! I did pick up a few in China but have never done anything with them!
I've seen those in photos but never knew what they were called. What a variety! They are so pretty.
So weird, but I literally ordered a few of these on Etsy a couple of days ago! Great minds........? :-)
Love these! I still have some beautiful bamboo brushes from art classes in college many years ago. I think I saw some of these brushes at Pearl River Mart in Soho when I was in the city for the Matisse MOMA show in January.
They are absolutely beautiful!!
They are gorgeous. I can't wait to see what she pick for you as well.
