Welcome to Ralf and Ilana‘s private Website. Why is it called
Lanara? The name is a combination of our christian names:
iLANA RAlf. I invented the name way back in 1993 and had
used it on personal printed matter such as Christmas/Easter
and Birthday cards for family and friends. The name has a
fantasy ring to it and suited us both very well. Ilana loves
reading Fantasy books and I am more a fan of Science Fiction.
Imagine my surprise when, in the year 2000 or 2001, I
attempted to register a Web Domain under the name ‚Lanara‘.
The .com and .de domains were already occupied. I couldn‘t
believe it. Lanara was a figment of my imagination and here it
was all over the Internet!
So, I settled for a .net domain and yes, you thought correctly -
it has taken me about 15 years to get a Website online. I was
hampered by the fact that my partner refused to be involved
with the project, which means that this Website will be filled
with my content for now, until Ilana changes her mind.
My main priority for now is to get the postcard catalogue up
and running. This site is still under construction and is
constantly being updated. Use the links at the top of the
various pages to check on progress. However, if something is
not working as expected, please let me know. Thank you.
