Mahjong!

My Winning Hand

My first mahjong class was yesterday and it was excellent. The teacher had us actually playing in very short order. I won the first game we all played and it was a self - picked hand as well. Above is my winning hand. So I am off to a great start. I also began last night watching the excellent free mahjong classes/video series of Southern Sparrow. She makes everything so easy to understand.

Watch them here. Southern Sparrow has a wonderful online store as well. See the entire collection here which includes her fabulous Chinoiserie Collection.

The tile designs include ginger jars, Chinese vases, bamboo, koi, foo dogs - so pretty. Her heirloom quality tiles are very highly rated with deep engaving and hand painted vibrant colors -

I also love the tiles in pink -

I love the bamboo trellis mahjong mat -

These tortoiseshell line markers are great -

A great option is that you can order samples of the tiles here - I am going to do this because I love all the colors and can't decide.

These show you how deep the engraving is and how vibrant the colors are. These are stunning!
