More Gifts from the Chan's!

My aunt Karen has been introducing me to all the Chinese tales and stories she can find! Here are two more collections of amazing tales. When she and my uncle Jack were married, The Phoenix and The Dragon were embossed on their invitations, imparting the symbolism into their marriage. Karen, Jack and my cousins sent us some gorgeous fabric which display these fascinating symbols.
They wished Elena "all the riches of The Dragon in family and prosperity" and "may the high virtue and rare talent of The Phoenix be yours". Do I sound too much like a child of the 80's when I say "How cool is that?!!" Thank you, Chan Family!
