Postcards with the three monkeys

We received a message from Nick Wang in Taiwan who is a
graphic designer. Because next year is the Year of the Monkey, he designed
postcards about three monkeys. Here is his website: http://www.nisan.tw/Three-wise-monkeys.htm Please scroll down the
page. Since not all of us are familiar with Chinese texts, here is
a translation of that page by Google. More…..

Three Monkey
Collection available
|
Dana Manciagli from
Washington state, U.S.A. wrote to us that she wants to pass along
her 3-monkey collection of over 100 sets. The reason is very sad.
For the third time she is now being treated for late stage cancer
and she also has lost her twin sister to this disease. She prefers
that the new owner of the collection will simply cover the costs of
packing and shipping of the full collection (with or without the
display case). Here are pictures of Dana's collection
(Nr. 011), and here's a link to her blog DanaManciagliCancer.com.
We will be pleased to send you her email address on request.
