I’m sure there must be plenty of people out there, like us, who have in the past been on holiday to some warmer place and come home with inexpensive souvenirs in the form of a decorated fan or two.
Once home, they generally get tucked into a drawer somewhere and largely forgotten about.
But not today!
Today is their time to shine! To really feel useful and important! And we certainly don’t need to go anywhere to enjoy the warmth - I’m going to sit under my very own grapevine right here and make the most of it!

Wow,You collect those exquisite folding fans ! The one with pine and cranes that symbolize longevity is the elderly's favourite over here.

I have a few hand fans too. They do occasionally come in handy.

They are all from different places, and made in different ways too. The green and blue one is from Spain, the painted paper one came from Chinatown in San Francisco (so I guess originally from China) and the black embroidered one I think from one of the Mediterranean islands - maybe Malta.

I used to collect too. I got one from Singapore but no I hardly use them. We had a priest who we invited for dinner with his sister years ago . He was from Spain and they gifted us with a fan.

They're pretty! I have a few sandalwood hand fans here at home. They make lovely decor too.

I rarely go on vacation, but the souvenirs that I have bought in my few trips I have tried to give them a place in the house so that it does not look overwhelming or loaded.
