Thank you for your kind words, Rose! I often feel like I have no one to share my joy of jade with, since no one around my age really likes it. I'm so blessed to have a mum like mine and loves the same things as each other!

It seems like it says 喜上眉梢, but I can't see the last character very well. This phrase means 'to be radiant with joy' or 'eyes twinkle with pleasure'. I think it's a very accurate description of how we feel about jade
