Happy Lunar New Year! We celebrated with these red paper lanterns, a big Chinese dinner, and mochi ice cream. Plus, I didn't sweep. That one was hard. It was fun and I look forward to incorporating new elements and traditions next year. How was your weekend?
...
An introduction to floral waters.After you see this, you too will be dreaming of Love Tea & Lavender Truffles.
Need a bookmark?
Did you hear about Barbie's house? Am I the only one wondering what her next house will be like?
I'm thinking of making these Cherry Blossom Cookies for my honey this Valentine's.
These may be one of the cutest measuring cups ever.
Happy Lunar New Year! I'm glad to hear that you had fun.
ReplyDeleteAnd AWWW, thank you for sharing my post! :) I'm honored! And I definitely want to eat those truffles... Oh, and I pinned this Cherry Blossom Cookies recipe earlier in the week too. I also really want to try making them.
Happy monday, Juju!
My honor. In fact this week I picked up some dandelion tea. I think you've inspired me to look into plants and herbs more.

Oh, thank you for that cookie recipe!!! My hubby loves sugar cookies and cherries, so those will be perfect for him. :D
ReplyDeleteUntil your post a couple of days ago, I didn't even know what Anthropologie was. Isn't that sad?! But, now I've already fell in love with several items at their website! Very cute.
Ooo yes indeed!
DeleteNot at all. It makes me happy that I was able to introduce you. :)
Happy Lunar New Year to you!! I love that you all are celebrating and embracing new traditions and other cultures!
ReplyDeletePS: Those bookmarks are pretty cool and iCant with Barbie selling the dream house. Too funny!
Thank you :)
DeleteWe do too.
It's fun and I can't wait to have Baby Whimsy help me with the crafts.
Happy new year, Juju! Pretty lanterns, they're so festive and fun. :) We ordered dumplings take out this weekend as a nod to the holiday, hah.

ReplyDeleteThose measuring cups are adorable and that recipe looks delish!
ReplyDeleteI love the lanterns! Why didn't you sweep?
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteYou're suppose to clean before the New Year but not on it so as to not sweep away any of the good luck you just received in the New Year.
:)
Sounds like so much fun and lantern is gorgeous! :)
ReplyDeleteAw thank you :)
DeleteHappy Lunar New Year to you, too! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteSounds like you had a lot of fun! I love the bookmarks and measuring cups.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I can afford Barbie's house lol

ReplyDeleteKung Hei Fat Choi, sweety! May the year of the snake bring you lots more loveliesssss :)
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteAnd to you as well darling.
Happy Lunar New Year! I am glad you enjoyed yourself. :D
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one who really hopes Barbie's next house is not so very pink? She needs to branch out a little.
Thanks :)
DeleteNo! I feel ya. LOL maybe if the pink was more pale and not so bright and in your face. ;)
Happy CNY! I love the traditions and customs that they do to celebrate the New Year! I bet it's hard not to sweep. HaHaHa
ReplyDeletehttp://www.averysweetblog.com/
Me too :)
DeleteOMG it was really hard not to sweep. Especially since I have a black lab. ;)
Oooo I want those cookies. And those measuring cups. SO ADORABLE. My kitchen needs them immediately:)
ReplyDeleteRight?! I wish I could buy us all a set.
DeleteHappy New Year! Paper lanterns are gorgeous. If I had it my way, they'd be up and around all year. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing those links!

ReplyDeleteYay :)
DeleteI love when you do these posts...so much fun...go ahead and make those cookies!
ReplyDeleteI shall. I was just making my shopping list today.
DeleteI love that link about floral waters! We use witch hazel for everything: cuts, bruises, sensitive, skin, my dog's skin since he is a Chihuahua and has pretty sensitive skin. My mom uses it for her eczema. But I had no idea it had anti-aging properties. Gonna check that out.
ReplyDeleteBarbie is crazy. lol And on the topic of healing stuff, green tea is now my savior when it comes to my sinuses.
Right on! I use witch hazel as a skin astringent too but I had no idea all the other things I could use it for.
DeleteYou take green tea for your sinuses? Tell me more! :)
I love your Random Lovliness of the week. I will need to remind myself to check back every week and see what you are up to!
ReplyDeleteYayyyy! I love hearing that.
DeletePlease do. You know I heart you Michelle.
That is a gorgeous red lantern, and I see you had mochi ice cream in your celebration. I have green tea mochi ice cream often! From Trader Joes.
ReplyDeleteTrader Joes!
DeleteLOVE them.
That's where I got mine.
I totally need to try the green tea.
We had chocolate.
Thank you for coming by and commenting :)

Happy new year! I can think of no better way to celebrate a happy occasion than with mochi ice cream. YUM. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the links—I am totally making those cookies, they look delicious. And oh my gosh Barbie—I hope she goes more low key this time. Maybe a condo in Manhattan or a cottage in England. No more manses!
:)
DeleteYay! Glad to hear.
Right? I like the way you think. Maybe she'll go with a pale pink flat in Paris? ;)
I really have to try making those cookies!

You're making me wish I had used the excuse of the new year this weekend to have Chinese food because I love it the most! But I didn't think. Love those lanterns, too! Thanks for the links! I'm left feeling hungry by this post, haha!
ReplyDeleteAwwww :)

ReplyDeleteMe too :) It was fun making them too.
DeleteWhat a fun way to celebrate Lunar New Year! Those cookies look delish and I adore those measuring cups!
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteBarbie is one lucky girl! Travel all around the world to search for her dream house. Oh wow!
ReplyDeleteRight? Lucky duck ;)
DeleteMy mom has been trying to find good info about floral healing and remedies. I just showed her the page and she told me to say a big old 'Thank you!'
ReplyDeleteI am completely in love with those measuring cups! I love that there's the splash of color on the insides!
I did hear about Barbie's new house being in the works, I'm curious to see it! :)
Yay! Glad I could help.
DeleteI think I'm going to start reading up on it myself. That post definitely sparked my interest.
:)
Fun, fun! It's a big celebration in Korea, too. It's called Seollal. Gosh, I should have made a post about it!
ReplyDeleteHave you seen Tangled? I know it's not set in Asia, but hearing about paper lanterns always makes me think about the scene in the movie with the lanterns. I want to try Mochi ice cream! But I'm allergic to dairy :( Have you tried Rice Bean Cakes? They are sooo yummy and totally addicting.
Oooo I did not know that.
DeleteOh yes! I LOVE that scene in Tangled. *le sigh* I would love to see something like that in person.
I'm lactose intolerant but went for it anyway. ;)
Rice Bean Cakes? I have not! Are they scrumptious? Do you recommend a certain flavor?
