Red-coloured Envelope with Money


Sent to Heleen (the Netherlands).

In fact, I've got this little red envelope from Bree, who lives in Malaysia. She explained me that during Chinese New Year married adults give unmarried friends and relatives a red-coloured envelope with some money on it. It is a tradition which is practised by all the Chinese in the world. It symbolises health and helps you to protect from bad things.

But I didn't send any money to my friend, but a little love letter brooch:

    1. I hope you have the occasion to wear it. For example, in a postcrossers meeting, or something like that... :D

    2. A postcrossers meeting, that's a great idea! Sure I'll wear it then!
      (Only, first I must get to know other Dutch postcrossers, I only know one, who lives at the other side of our country.) Until then I'm treasuring your brooch at home, of course :-)
