One evening after dinner with friends at Aeon Falim, we went to get something from Mr D.I.Y. There were many lanterns of various designs and sizes at the entrance.
Red and yellow lanterns are very popular because these are auspicious colours for Chinese.
Another auspicious item is the Chinese gold nugget.
These Chinese gold nuggets symbolize wealth, abundance and prosperity.
Another Chinese New Year decorative item.
Red cushion pillows and shopping bags.

The following photos are for joining Saturday's Critters.
I found this moth on the wall when I was vacuuming the house
It was high up on the wall and I had to zoom in to get a good snapshot.
Next day while sweeping the floor, I found the moth on the floor.
It was lifeless. Can you see a face on its upper back?
Linking to Saturday's Critters.
Don't store up treasures here on earth
where they can erode away or may be stolen.
Store them in heaven where they will never lose their value
and are safe from thieves.
If your profits are in heaven, your heart will be there too.
(Matthew 8:19-21, The Living Bible-TLB)

DeleteThe decor is all so colorful, and the moth uses the "face" on its back for camouflage, probably. Very good shots.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mimi! Happy new week!
DeleteWe have lots of moths at the camper. Wonder what the life span of a moth is?
ReplyDeleteI would like to know too.
DeleteThe reds are wonderful. We anticipate a snowstorm today. Poor wee mothie!

Thank you, Jenn! I hope the snowstorm didn't cause any damage.
DeleteWow, looks interesting!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Elena!
DeleteThe moth really gave you pose for taking pictures.. :)
ReplyDeleteI had a hard time focusing on the moth to get a good picture.
DeleteVery cute moth! Yes, when moths and ladybugs get in our house, they slowly lose their color, then die. We try to coax them outside, after taking pictures of course. The red & gold is very cheerful and appealing.
ReplyDeleteI must remember to get them out of the house.
DeleteSo very colorful too. Beautiful too.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous weekend, Nancy. ♥
Thank you, Sandee! Have a fabulous new week!

ReplyDeleteI noticed some were made of velvet,
DeleteI bought some decoration last weekend too. I haven't check out the decor in Aeon here.
ReplyDeleteI was very tempted but then I am lazy to clear them after CNY! Lol!
DeleteQuite often unusual insects found in our homes will die. Wonder if it's because they got lost.
ReplyDeletePossibly they don't know how to get out of the house.
DeleteThese are inspiring to buy and the moth looks beautiful and shouldn't die soon
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jeevan! Sometimes I try to help them get out of the house.
