the masks

are they PRETTY or what???

i bought these masks in my trip to shanghai few years ago and i have been keeping them in their boxes gathering dust. initially, i thought of giving them to friends....but when i take a look at them, they are just so beautiful that i want to keep them for myself.

and finally, this week, i managed to pester mom to bring them to be framed. the cost of framing is rm35 for each one. i think the masks were all less than rm50.

although i am not well-versed in chinese cultures and stuff, i did know that one of the places we visited in shanghai area was famous for its masks. hence, i went hunting for them when we were brought shopping. when the rest in the tour group saw the masks, they also wanted me to show them the stall. i got to choose the best from the selection first since i was the first to buy. clever me. and there were not many to choose from too. i think there were only about 10 including the 4 i chose.

so now, where am i going to hang these four frames? in the living room or the wall along the stairs??
