A few weeks ago I received a lovely email from Fréya and immediately fell in love with her beautiful, optimistic illustrations. (She’s also a bird of the feather who got her start in advertising as well!) Her work has graced Cosmo, Waitrose and Business Review Weekly among others. In other words, she rocks so much she’s made a career out of her awesomeness!
And now you have a chance to have it grace the walls of your home. The lovely Fréya is giving away my favorite print – Strange & Magnificent! {Her shop is currently closed because the lucky duck is on vacation, but when it reopens on the 15th please do pop over and see the rest of her inspiring prints.}

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.

Hello Lucky did a great job merging retro and modern design in their series of Halloween cards. Think I might purchase one to frame and bring out as my Halloween print every October!
I love the muted use of normally boisterous colors and great attention to detail exhibited in Masha D’Yans watercolors. So sweet. And how adorable is that little bird?! {via paper crave}
I love, love, love the concept behind Sharon O’Connor’s MusicCooks – 15 themed collections of recipes with an accompanying CD of music to listen to while you’re cooking that matches the mood of the food!

Coffee Treats features muffins, scones and quick breads to enhance your coffee time and Brandenburg Concertos to tickle your eardrums. Ant then there is Chocolate Bliss which is just that, a chocolate lover’s dream come true! Seductive Bossa Nova music is paired with it to put you in the mood for romance.

I’ve been putting up a valiant effort in fighting off a cold that’s threatening to take away my weekend, but it seems to be gaining an edge. The achiness has moved in and my willingness to venture out of the house and moved on. If by chance you’re feeling under the weather as well, content yourself from your couch with these lovely links from the past week… Happy Weekend!
