When we were in Chinatown a week ago, I wanted to check out some shops for Chinese New Year decor stuff. The first shop we went to was my favourite – The Basket Shop near the Old China Cafe. This shop sells all kinds of baskets, ribbons, etc. I bought a red basket for mandarin oranges. Will take a photo after I have decorated it. What caught my eyes were the pretty and colourful lanterns that are made from peony design fabric. I knew I have to get them to decorate my house eventhough we already have a pair of red lanterns. Plus, they were really inexpensive – RM14.50 each. So here are my brand new lanterns which are now hanging outside my house.
Nice? I love everything with peonies on them. They are so Asian and so festive.
I popped into Chinatown last week too. I hardly do nowadays (since it’s not really “china” town anymore),but somehow it’s like a must-do for CNY 🙂
ps : the peony lanterns are nice!
