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!}

The panel is printed on 100% cotton fabric and arrives pre-washed. The finished size is approximately 14 x 20 inches depending on how you finish your edges. 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!}

I’d like to give a big thank you to lovely ladies Sharon and Claire from MusicCooks for the giveaway. (Wouldn’t these make the sweetest holiday gifts or stocking stuffers?)
This weekend I managed to: • take lots of naps • watch lots of college football • go to a local craft show • add a few pieces to my fall wardrobe • try (and dislike) matte nail polish • get my Halloween treat bags ready • do mounds of laundry
I bring up Columbus Day because my office will be closed Monday, so posting will pick back up where it left off bright and early Tuesday. Next week I have lots of amazing calendars to share with you and will be posting not one, but four, calendar roundups! (You are signed up for the Design Crush/Greedy Girl 2010 Calendar Swap, right? I thought so.)
**NOTE: Just a little reminder, you have until Tuesday at 9am CST to enter the MusicCooks giveaway and win one of two collections of recipes and music!
I’m sort of a bread pudding-a-holic. I inherited it from my mom, so I’m convinced it’s hereditary. Dying to try this recipe for Pear Nutmeg Bread Pudding.
I’ve been chomping at the bit for weeks just waiting to share the news – Greedy Girl (aka Caroline) and I have teamed up to bring you the 2010 Calendar Swap!
Here’s how it works:
+ e-mail your name, blog or web site, and snail-mail address to calendarswap@gmail.com by Saturday, October 31. + we’ll pair you up and send your swapmate’s details on or before Monday, November 2. + you’ll have until November 15 to get your calendar mailed and on its way. + keep your calendar under $30 but no less than $20 (since there are also some wonderful calendars out there that don’t add up to $20, consider throwing in a few extra goodies). + NO mall kiosk calendars (kittens, marilyn monroe, you get it). + handmade is very welcome, just keep in mind the $30 suggested value. + check out your swapmate’s web site or blog, or consider getting to know their tastes via e-mail, to get an idea of what they might like. + the swap is open to international readers.
Easy peasy lemon squeezy, no?
Caroline and I will set up a place on flickr where we can post and share all of our lovely goods that we’ve received from our swap partners. Or, you can email a photo to one of us and we’ll do the posting for you. Simple!
If you have any questions just leave a comment or drop us an email and we’ll get back to you right away. But don’t forget, you need to email calendarswap@gmail.com to actually join the swap!
Now obviously the fun part of the equation is finding the perfect calendar. And we’ve got you covered! Each and every day, this coming Tuesday through Friday, I’ll be posting calendar roundups of the prettiest and best out there. Caroline will be following up with her favorite each day. So hurry and sign up, my dears, and stay tuned for some lovely calendar giveaways along the way!
