How to contact Puan Saloma

Knowing that I have a great interest in plants, my friend, Kamariah, took me to a grape vineyard in Lekir this afternoon. We went after school to have a look at the place which is managed by a lady by the name of Saloma. As it was noon time, the sun was scorching hot and Puan Saloma was no where in sight. However, the owner of the store situated next to the vineyard said that we could have a look-see.

The grapes will only be ready for harvest in November and those who want to buy the grapes can actually choose and pluck them at the time of purchase. Well, I'll have to wait another 3 months before I go again. I'll also be taking photographs of the fully grown grapes to compare with the ones that I snapped today.

Now on to the Feng Shui bit of this post. What significance has grapes as regards to Feng Shui?

The best places to display the grapes (either real or articial) would be in the living room or dining room.

FENG SHUI MONEY TIPS USING GRAPES

Want more money flowing in? You'd say YES, of course. Well one way that believers of symbolic feng shui would recommend is to place a bowl of green and purple grapes (real or artificial) in the wealth area of the kitchen, to symbolize abundance filling your home. If real grapes are used, you can eat them after a day or two but remember to replace them with new ones. Also, make sure that the grapes placed in that direction are fresh and the bowl used to contain them is at least half full.
