복주머니 Bokjumeoni

I used to receive these 복주머니 (bokjumeoni) from my grandparents on holidays like New Years with money inside. I’ve always found them very beautiful, and they were most special when my grandma embroidered my name on them. Rather than money inside, peach blossoms float out to symbolize luck and prosperity for the New Year.
