calendar round-up

I was amazed at how many of my 2009 desk calendars found good homes during last Sunday's Crafty Wonderland! It made me realize that although it seems far away, the holidays and the new year are really just around the corner.


If you're still in the market for a new desk calendar, check out some of my favorites:

Pistachio Press has a gorgeous limited edition letterpress calendar – love the vertical orientation and the modern illustration style. $40.


Story By Mia uses colorful animal silhouettes – great idea for a child's room! $22.


More playful critters can be found at SnoopyTK05. Wonderful idea to use pin clothes and a simple string to display the months all at once! $11, printed digitally.


Labokoff has nailed the idea of a wall calendar – this poster format is so unique and the photography is gorgeous! $20.


Last but not least, Hello Handmade's calendar has got to be the most elegant of the bunch! I love the simple illustration and design of this wall calendar – and the hanger idea is genius! How I wish I hadn't tossed all my old hangers like this... $24.
