That's the Miriel Davidson calendar. Yes, I did pick up a copy. Thanks for looking out for these!

A VERY Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all my fellow obsessive/compulsive lunatics!

What was the bad news about the Henning calendar?

First it appeared to not be a calendar as such but a birthday calendar. Then his publisher went bankrupt and now probably we will see no calendar at all.... let us hope Henning can arrange something.

I received an email from Henning about the calendar that was titled "+RIP+ birthday calendar +RIP+":


today was supposed to be THE big day I was to receive the long expected birthday calendar.
I had talked with the owner of the printing plant several times during the past three weeks, being reassured that everything was in good order and there would be no problems delivering my calendar today.
On Tuesday I tried to check on the progress. The phones were off. Not operating. I had been told that they had just moved the business to a new location, so I first figured that they had installed some excellent new telephone connection that hardly ever works. Newspapers here are full with it. Today I managed to talk to the publisher of the Dutch Purefantasy magazine who also worked with the same printer and was informed that that business had gone bankrupt.
...
very small chance the owner would have found a way to carry under a different name. Not impossible, just very unlikely ...
No idea why he has repeatedly given me falso hope.

I really have no idea what to do next. Delivering anything before Christmas now seems impossible.
There always is a spark of hope. I know I am dreaming and can´t rely on any lucky coincidences ...

Just thought ... I´d let you all know. Should there be news ...

Anyway - hope you enjoy the calendar site as long as I can bear to keep it online:

You can see the illustrations via that link. I am hoping that this is a setback in time only. That is, I hope that Henning will still issue the calendar even if it is after the holidays or in the new year. I am certain that we all wish him luck (and success).

Who is Warrior of Rohan? I have not seen this user name before but you obviously know me!

Holiday Greetings to all.

Hi Parmastahir, if you are still looking for a copy of the Italian 2007 Eldalie Calendar, there's one on sale on eBay (auction nr 250066655538)

Thanks! As the seller has listed it for shipment to Italy only, I have written to them to see if they will agree to ship to the USA.

Happy New Year!

The seller did confirm that (s)he would ship to the USA, and I did put a bid in on it (for the minimum). I have since heard from Firiel Tindomerel of Eldalie that he has both the 2006 and 2007 Eldalie calendars and will send them to me tomorrow. How good is that news?!? So I will tell my fellow collectors over here about this auction and let one of them pick it up (if they so desire).

Thanks to all for the support I have received during 2006. I feel guilty about my good fortune to have had as much in my quest to make my collection truly compleat!

With my best wishes for an absolutely great 2007,

Away from The Green Hill Country,

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

Thank you all for your support in 2006.

I have reformatted my Tolkien calendar website in an attempt to make it much less cluttered and easier to use. As imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, I have considered how the TCG site is laid out (Thanks, Jeremy!) In addition, there are many new additions (2007 calendars and several new discoveries) and a new Calendar of the Month featured for January. Hope you all enjoy (and use) it!

Away from The Green Hill Country,

Parmastahir
