More ang pow creation

Well, this customer of mine made another pineapple lantern for me. Of course, I supplied her with those red and green packets. Simply love it. Now my house has those two pineapple lanterns..

so creative of her..

this must be the number eight to symbolize prosperity, 'fatt'..
I put this in my shop.

and I love this fan too. 
I took it back home and placed it near my family photos.

You can see more of her ang pow creation at Chang Jiang where she has posted them for he CNY contest which will close this Saturday night.

    Very pretty! OK I am assuming that ang pow is money but correct me if I'm wrong!

      that number 8, i don't think it is just a number, perhaps it's two ancient coins joined together??

    I like the fan made from ang pow packets best! Next is the pineapple. Your customer is so skillful at handicraft. Even if she did not win, hope you'll give her a special prize.

    Are there any company logos on those yellow angpow packets with the snake picture on it (are those packets given by a specific company)? I have not seen yellow ang pow packets for cny this year.

    I kept staring at the pineapple! This customer of yours must be a housewife and has plenty of free time! Not easy to fold, just need patience.

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
