January 23, 2012 - The Year of the Dragon

According to the Chinese calendar, which is observed in a number of
countries in the Far East, on January 23 is the start of the Year of the Dragon. This is a good
reason to publish a page with photos of hear no evil, see no evil and speak
no evil dragons. There are more no evil dragons than one can imagine. Click here.

Of course our Guestbook also contains some “Kind greetings from uncle Paul
and aunt Mary”.
In case you are not reading it on a regular basis,
it may be a good idea to visit earlier pages, by clicking on the links that

Three Monkey “Beans”
|
|
Very special 3-monkey collectibles are the French fèves, “beans”
that are specially produced for the Three Magi cake. Such cakes are only
baked for Epiphany, which is celebrated on January 6. If
you are not familiar with this custom, click here for an
explanation. We were able to add more of these “beans” to our
collection and if you are interested, click here.
These items are very rare and as complete sets even more difficult to find.

Carnival (Mardi Gras) and the three monkeys
|
|
The “carnival season” in Germany always starts on
November 11 at 11.11 am, although the real big festivities will only take
place in the second half of February 2012.
This year, the “opening of the season” will be on a very special
date and time: 11.11.11 at 11.11 o’clock. Maybe a reason to have a look how
the three monkeys have inspired carnival freaks. More….

The three-monkey collectors day
2011 in Deurne, Belgium

The 34 participants can look back to a nice
collector’s meeting. Once more many thanks to Marie-Louise and Patrick who have
spent much time with preparations during the past year. The guided tour in
the Silver Museum, combined with a kind of 3-monkey quiz competition, was
interesting and worthwhile. We were also lucky with the beautiful weather.
The day was rounded off with a dinner in restaurant de Heksenketel (Witch
Kettle) The pictures of Deurne 2011 are now ready on the internet and can

Massive internet problems
|
|
During the second half of
September and the early days of October 2011, our internet service provider
has experienced tremendous technical problems. Our website was temporarily
down or very slow, the 3-monkeys store was not available and worst of all,
emailing had come to a complete stop. This always presents a big problem,
but it is especially annoying just before and during the European
three-monkey collectors meeting in Deurne, Belgium. If you have tried to
reach us during the past weeks and have not received a reply, please resend
your message. If you don’t know already, we always answer all
serious emails. Sorry for the inconvenience, this was completely beyond our
control.

Three Monkey Collections for sale
|
|
During the past months we have
frequently been approached by people who would like to sell their three-monkey
collection. Usually, but not always, it concerns a collection from their
parents. As a service to all who are interested in the 3 wise monkeys, we
have now created a special info page within this website. This service is
completely free for sellers and buyers, but it is obvious that we, as a
free of charge advertising medium, cannot take any responsibility
whatsoever.
For future reference there also is a link in the
left column of this Newsletter under “Collecting
the 3 monkeys” and then under “3-Monkey
collections for sale”. Click

What to do with my collection…………..later?
|
|
Rev. Paul Johnson in USA
collected 3,479 different pencil sharpeners and when he
died no one was sure where the collection would go. The good news is that
it will now be displayed in a regional welcome centre in Logan, Ohio, USA.
If you have an almost-unique collection, you
should start now to decide who would want to buy it, where you could sell
it, or what non-profit organization would like it as a donation. This
subject also was a topic during the recent Three-Monkeys Collectors meeting
in Carson City, NV, USA.
