| The German National Library's 100th anniversary |
The stamp commemorates The German National Library's 100th anniversary. The Library was founded in Leipzig in 1912, and all publications in German were systematically collected there starting from January 1, 1913. Now the Library counts about 24.1 million items in total, located in Leipzig, Frankfurt am Main and Berlin (wish I had all of them ;))

| Tagetes flower |
Tagetes is native to North and South America, but some species are naturalized around the world. The common English name, "marigold", comes from "Mary's Gold".
What about Little Frog? She's cute as well.
ReplyDeleteAs well as Little Duck :) It's called Tigerente (tiger duck) and was created by Janosch as a wooden painted toy on wheels. And those erm... paintings on the wall... My beloved and me are trying to guess... Are they their parents maybe? They seem to be ... multinational...
