Was thrilled to receive these gifts.....the fishes (gifts from Aunty Doreen) will be used to house mosquito coils at doorways....hmmm....these will keep those nasty mossies away especially the Aedes mosquitoes which can send one to hospital with just a bite. Come Chinese New Year, I will stuff some ang pow packets into their mouths as fish is a much welcomed icon for CNY. Not that I am superstitious anyway but prefer to keep some Chinese traditions alive.
The brown jars came from a client who was house clearing. They were 'kiam chye' jars. Love them to pieces! What about the golden tops? Well, they were cake boards which I had used to keep dust away and together all of them make a wonderful statement, don't you think so?
