Chinese New Year!

Now that the Christmas and New Year celebrations are over, I am so looking forward to ushering in the Year of the Dragon.  I followed hubs to a cable wire management store in the neighbourhood recently and was so glad to see FnC (Fun N Cheer) next door.  FnC is a shop that sells lots of merchandises from China.   When we were there last week, the whole place is filled with Chinese New Year decor items.

I couldn’t resist and bought 2 Red Fabric Lanterns.  It cost RM19.90 each.  Cheap eh?

I bought a few stalks of fake peonies for my CNY craft.  Can’t wait to get started on them 🙂

When Ashley saw these Angry Bird angpows (red packets), she asked us to buy for her just because one of them is a girl.  I am so not a fan of Angry Birds.

I got this basket from a flower stall at the market yesterday.  I’m going to fill it with Mandarin oranges later.

Have you started shopping for Chinese New Year yet?

    Can’t believe CNY is another three weeks away. It was still quiet all around KL. Anyway, I will use recycle decoration items again, such stuffs are getting more expensive this year.
