Title: Asian Wall Pocket
Post by: cindyv11 on June 11, 2009, 05:06:46 pm

Can any help me with the writing on this wall pocket.  What is the language and what does it say?  Some place I read it meant something about  .....  one child you have 10 grandchildren...  I would really appreciate any help!! Thanks!
