Ang Pow lantern

Recently I received a whole box of ang pow from the boss's best friend. Since the robbery incident last September, he has been helping the boss with banking. He's such a kind and generous man. 

He told us to give to our customers. I took some and sent to my blogger friends too. 

Recently I visited Merryn's blog and I learned this simple way of making the lantern.
Just need 12 any pows for each lantern.
Fold the edges and then staple them.

This is the inside view.

Completely done.

Here I display the lanterns near my basket hampers.
My customers wants to learn and I'm always happy to teach them.

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..
