How thrilling! Not only is it MY year on the Chinese New Year Lunar Calendar, but it is also the year of the Water Dragon - how lucky am I??
The Water Dragon occurs only once every 60 years on the Chinese lunar calendar, and is expected to bring prosperity, luck and exciting transforming changes. I am ready for whatever this year may bring! How about you?
Now to add some traditional red and water elements into my coastal decorating to celebrate - and to encourage the good luck!
Red coral always makes me happy and it does have a beautiful organic shape. (reminiscent of a dragon!)
Hmm... and it does come from the sea....
Maybe a few new pillows to toss on my couch?
Could not resist this one - it's already on my bed! Just a touch of red in my sea aqua room....
Or a beautiful red bowl for my ever-growing collection of seashells? I like this one for the sea grass type of etching on the base. Can you imagine this filled with bleached white shells? I can, it would be so gorgeous!
Wishing you all a very Happy Chinese New Year! Special wishes to my fellow dragons... you know who you are.

In past life I was a media dragon, but a water dragon sounds far more fun! Do we all get to take part?

Absolutely!
How exciting for you! I think I was born in the year of the Ox. Not too exciting.
Love all the red pieces, that lamp is beautiful!
