Happy New Year 2013 from Heike!
In Germany a chimney sweeper is a good luck omen or a lucky symbol.

In case you can touch him or her you will have great fortune in the new

year. So do it as the Monchhichi girls here and touch him! :o)

Heike loves spring

Hello dear friends,

in the last two weeks spring arrived here in Germany. Every year I am so happy to watch the nature blooming. Here is a photo of our meadow which I took last week.

Today I want to tell you about my latest Updates.

Hina Matsuri
In March 03, “Hina Matsuri” was celebrated in Japan. I added some new photos to my Monchhichi Hina Matsuri page of a new Monchhichi Hina Matsuri couple which are the Emperor and Empress. I am so happy to have them and I am looking forward to display them every year.

Hina Matsuri 3D Greeting cards with sound
This year I got lovely Hina Matsuri 3D greeting cards
with sound from a friend.
I took videos of them and published them at my Hina Matsuri page.
 

Year of the dragon 2012

As you may know we have the “year of the dragon”
and my Monchhichis meet a dragon :o)

Monchhichi Easter 2012
And the Monchhichis certainly discovered their easter baskets.

I wish you all a Happy Spring!
tschüß

Kadomatsu

Kadomatsu

A kadomatsu is a traditional japanese decoration
 of the New Year placed in pairs in front of homes to welcome ancestral spirits.

Please click at the phototo watch my page about Kadomatsu.

Do you have a special decoration in your country at New Year?
In Germany we do not have one for that day.

Have a nice day!
Heike
