2010 Calendar Roundup #1.


There are sooo many great calendars floating around for 2010 that I had to break my yearly roundup down into four parts! I’ll be posting a huge selection starting now and ending Friday.

A perpetual gardening calendar for southern California – for each month there are two lists: planting recommendations and what is in season at the market. Each month also has a linoleum block print of a seasonal fruit or vegetable.

The days of the month have space for notes–either for recording what you’ve planted, harvested or bought that month (I imagined one might keep a planting/harvesting record) OR for using as a birthday calendar. The calendar is not year-specific, so you can keep using it for years to come.

Letterpress printed in three colors on heavyweight 100% PCW recycled card stock and wire-bound with a metal hanger. 5 1/2″ w x 8 1/2″ t.

Eco-friendly sustainably harvested yellow birch wood. Wood is sliced thin from a small amount of raw material & uses no water & very little power. Wood grain varies from month to month. 6 flat wooden cards printed both sides. Clear display case. Landscape size: 7 1/4″ x 4 1/4″. {Also check out their 2010 Critter Calendar.}

This colorful calendar has been printed on smooth white 110# cardstock. Each month’s card has its own fun print and measures approx. 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches. Calendar includes one set of 1 x 1 inch wooden cube stands. Each stand can hold approx. 6 months at a time.

This calendar comes in both small and large. The large version of the calendar measures 8.5×14″ and features a vibrant and unique patterns, all created by me, a different one for each month. The small version measures 5.5×8.5″. Both are printed on white matte cover stock with vibrant Canon inks, held together with a shiny silver book ring at the top. {Also check out her ‘make your year abundant’ calendar!}

Original illustration and hand-lettering, made together with Flock Home of 100% naturally sustainable linen, and screenprinted in navy with water-based inks (and yes, made here in California). Two eyelets at top for cute and easy hanging. Measures 17″ x17″.

12 fully letterpressed months, tied together with a double-faced satin purple ribbon. On the reverse side of each month is a post card image for easy cutting, writing & sending.

This calendar features 4 original pencil illustration together accented with different colors to represent the spirit of the season. Designed with the simplicity and cleanliness in mind. Packaged in a simple white paper with 2010 Calendar printed on it, making this calendar gift ready.

This calendar can be hung on the wall with binder clips or can be put on a business card holder for a desk calendar. Size: 5.5×8.5 (inches). Digitally printed on cover weight 100% recycled 30% post consumer used paper.

This year’s design features our popular botanic and nature-inspired silhouettes in vibrant, lush hues, on lovely, thick paper. Great to hang as is, or separate the pages for more wall coverage.

The panel itself is slightly larger than that to accommodate any finishing you choose to do. These panels can be embellished in so many ways: embroidery, silk screen, fabric paints, fabric collage, whatever you can imagine. Do you need to have a sewing machine to make this calendar? – nope. A small booklet is included with each order outlining ideas for creating and for finishing your calendar. {Check out a few other of their calendars here!}
