Mary, at The Little Red House is the hostess for Mosaic Monday.
Not only was yesterday Valentine's Day, it was also the Lunar New Year, the Year of the Tiger.
I enjoyed both!

Some of the photos are of the money envelopes that are commonly used for Chinese New Year, Weddings, birthdays - any special event. During the Chinese New Year, money envelopes are normally given by married to unmarried individuals, regardless of age. Tradition is to give an even numbered increment of money enclosed in a red envelope and include wishes of peace, good fortune, prosperity, success and happiness.
On Mosaic Monday, I wish for you: peace, good fortune, prosperity, success, happiness and time with your loved ones.

Love the combination of celebrations. That chinese tiger on the books is my favorite I think. ~Jeanne
Love all the rich brilliant red....
I've enjoyed reading your Valentine & New Year posts complete with wonderful photos. The Shambala books--especially the mindful eating one--caught my attention. W/diabetes I appreciate Jon Kabat-Zinn, et al. so I'm in search of this book. Thanks!!
These are lovely collection of Chinese art and calligraphy. Being 50% Chinese, I love its culture and traditions. The lion head in your header is a beauty. This time we did not go to Chinatown, traffic was heavy.
Likewise, blessings and prosperity and all the works to you and Mr. Dragon!
What lovely pictures!
Have a wonderful week
hugs, Cherry
