How to say new year greetings in Vietnamese. My un How to say new year greetings in Vietnamese. My uncle used to make us kids say greetings adequately before he'd give us our lucky money. I remember being stressed out cuz it felt like an exam. But he was wise. And I am glad for the lesson.

My mom's tutorial on how to make a lantern with my My mom's tutorial on how to make a lantern with my lucky envelopes! To make this, you'll need: 

🧧All five envelopes for this
🧧Decorative red string that you tie into a loop
🧧Decorative hanging red tassel
🧧Stapler, scissors, and tape

Envelopes are still on sale on my website (link in bio: @stacynguyencreative). Tết is coming up soon so it's best to order them this week to be sure they get to you before the new year!

Here are the dirty deets for this year's lì xì. Here are the dirty deets for this year's lì xì. 

This is my sixth year making these and what's been interesting to me is how the designs each year reflect my shifting/evolving sense of Vietnamese Americanness. Like, these horses are just about as traditional and as "serious," thematically, as I've ever done, what with the landscape, the symbolism, and the mythical animals. 

Tết Illustrations in the past have had different approaches: some of them have been superficial (Year of the Ox), cheeky (Year of the Cat), subversive (Year of the Dragon), but I've resisted being a traditionalist or being faithful to Vietnamese culture in these illos. UNTIL THIS YEAR. 

I'm older, chiller, and I've decided it actually doesn't have to be that deep all the time. I've spent nearly a year taking language lessons trying to sound just a little more eloquent in Vietnamese, and as a consequence of that effort, also learned a lot about culture, unlearned a lot about culture — and so when it came down to drawing this sucker, I was at a place in life where I could be like, "Yeah, dude, let's do it. Horse galloping majestically, lacquer painting-style. With pagodas."

Of course, there is still a little bit of fun and subversion. There are so many horse butts in this illustration, for instance, as well as the "lazy" horses who are just taking naps and enjoying their lives, because that's actually what I want in the next year. More naps and being busy doing nothing!!!!

Buy my lì xì! They are in my store and you can find that via link in my bio. @stacynguyencreative. Tết is Feb. 17 this year! So if you want your envelopes in time, you prob should put in your order before end of month!
Friends, these Year of the Horse lucky envelopes a Friends, these Year of the Horse lucky envelopes are now avail in my online shop! You can buy them via link in my bio: @stacynguyencreative

Inspo: Vietnamese stuff! But mostly mother-of-pearl inlay lacquer paintings. But also mythical creatures, sacred animals, and symbols of the four seasons. Guys, I went super Viet this year. 

New Feature: These no-glue envelopes are still reversible, but what's new this year is that the reversible design is a classic mailer envelope design, with space for addresses and a stamp, if you want to send these on an adventure to far away lands.

New add-ons this year, also in my shop:
❤️ Set of Horsey Notecards, for handwritten messages
❤️ Set of sticker-tape, to seal these envelopes so they can go through the mail. 

(FYI, be careful sending cash through the mail. USPS strongly discourages it because they are no fun.)

FYI, the Lunar New Year is Feb. 17 this year. Thank you for your support each year! It means so much!

Happy Mid Autumn Festival! Since we're not making Happy Mid Autumn Festival! Since we're not making moon cake boxes this year, we're able to put together this fun tasting of assorted mooncakes (Spoiler: they weren't all good!). 

Whatever moon cakes you prefer, or even if you don't love them at all, don't forget to admire the moon tonight. It's going to be a stunner. 🌕🥮
