This is a continuation of my earlier post. We went to Central Market over the weekend as we wanted to take Ashley on a train ride. While there, I came across a charming little shop which sells lots of trinkets, beautiful lanterns and other decorative items for home. I just adore them and we spent quite a while in this shop. Wish I found out about this shop before Chinese New Year. I would have bought a few things to decorate my home for the new year. The owner of this shop told me that many hotels in KL as well as banks like HSBC and OCBC would order the lanterns or table runners from them to decorate their premises.
A look at some of things in the shop. Lanterns with lots of beadworks
Lucky Nonya is the name of the shop
I couldn’t resist when I saw this pair of cute butterflies. It is hanging at my front door’s handle now. Price – rm10
a red dragonfly table runner – rm10
Upstairs are shops which sell batik clothings. My mom bought sweet green batik dress for Ashley
That’s all we bought at Central Market. I would definitely go back and visit the Lucky Nonya again. There are too many nice things in that shop and very reasonably priced too.
wow! what a grab! i love this type of shop too… definitely will drop by lucky nyonya if i visited central market. thanks for recommendation 🙂
The green batik dress is so beautiful. I love shopping at Central Market too, but the last time I been there was more than 10 years ago. That time I still studied at KL.
Love to go this kind os shops too, especially with these beautiful decos and ornaments. Thanks for sharing with us.
Yes, they are reasonably priced, and definitely better than those I saw at Metrojaya :-). I will remember to go there and “lap” some things too next CNY. Thanks for sharing :-D.
Batik Dress is very pretty!
all the lanterns look very special and nice!
so many lovely things!
i totally missed central market. I did take a train there and walked to petaling street and the prices there are a bit steep, maybe too commercialized. Must remember Lucky Nyonya next year.. or maybe b&k now ?? LOL !
It’s been ages since I last went to Central Market. This Lucky Nyonya shop is very interesting. 😀
It’s been ages since I last went to Central Market!
Aiks.. alamax.. how come my comment is exactly like Mummy Gwen’s? lol.. anyway.. it’s been ages since I last went to Central Market 😀
I haven’t been to Central Market in ages! What a nice shop and very nice dress! 🙂
Wow! i really like the butterflies and i think it is a steal for RM10!! cos it’s handmade kan!?
and cute dress for Ashley! 🙂
WOW…..so colourful and attractive!!! By the way, did you see the 12 zodiac animals hanging thingy like your butterfly kind? If you did, do you know how much?
hey Ann, I didn’t see the zodiac animal trinket at this shop but i have seen this before at Parkson before CNY. I think they price were between rm29 to rm39. i also saw a trinket with 4 butterflies in different colours but I didn’t get it then. I so regret it now 🙁
woah barb! so much chinese new year stuff ^______^
ooo i m definitely coming to this shop next yr for cny. i love those deco…
Nice dress!
That’s a nice (and comfy looking) dress !! Mind sharing how much?
it cost rm25 🙂
The batik dress is very pretty! Next time must post it together with the pretty model 🙂
I love the shop. Pity I didn’t get to visit Central Market on my last trip.
Wow, I love the butterfly hanging thing too. The last time I was at Central market was way back when I was 18 years old!!! Vaguely remember the building but I still have the tshirt by artist PekSum I bought there…filled with little holes now! 🙁
sadly i can’t find pek sum’s stuff anymore. her tshirts were the rage in the 80’s
Haven’t been to Central Market for ages already!
