As you know, Saturday was the beginning of the Chinese New Year. It's the year of the fire rooster, so I decided to set a table for the occasion!
The place settings incorporate the rooster's colors.
This rooster (well, actually I think it may be a chicken, but we're going with rooster!) is from my mother and is a remnant of the 1970's Plaster-of-Paris craze. He's usually on display in a kitchen cabinet, but strutted out to take his place on this table!
Red envelopes with gold Chinese characters are traditionally distributed for Chinese New Year and contain money for the recipient...but this one's empty!! It came from Panda Express and did have a coupon in it!😊
Would you like a fortune cookie?
Happy Chinese New Year!
