So, there have been a lot of calendar round-ups lately (I’ve seen and liked ones from Oh So Beautiful Paper, Design Crush, and Twig & Thistle). I’ve been working on my own version for awhile, but in the meantime, many of them have already made the blog/twitter rounds, so my apologies for the duplicates. I hope you see some new ones in here that you haven’t already seen.
This Linda & Harriet calendar is such a clever design. When you’re done with the month, cut the bottom half and use it as a beautiful letterpress postcard! I just love design that incorporates multiple functions into it. Well done.
From Elum Design, their “Four Seasons” calendar. I love the colors and design. Something about this calendar seems beautifully unusual and different to me.
I can’t remember where I saw this Lisa Rupp calendar originally – I think Oh So Beautiful Paper – but I just love it. What a nice addition to any wall.
Parrott Design – don’t you love January? So beautiful. I also really like Sarah’s Etsy shop. Please take a look.
p.s. paper goods’ 2010 calendar (which comes with your choice of colorful wooden cube stands!). You can get this desk calendar in her shop.
Satsuma Press designs are so elegant. I own a few of her really beautiful notecards.
Dutch Door Press makes this pretty wall calendar. If you’re not familiar with their work, check out their Etsy shop. I especially love the color combinations in their designs.
ilee paper goods‘ 2010 desk calendar. I love the variety in this calendar. It would be such a treat to turn to each new month and find a totally new and unique design. I love her October.
I had to include this “Charlotte” calendar by Peony Paperie. So clean, simple and colorful – and the name is brilliant. (See the other totally adorable calendar in her shop).
This is two months’ worth of Egg Press, one of my favorite letterpress shops. Makes you want to see the rest, right? If you read my Top Ten List on Indie Fixx, you saw that I list Egg Press (along with Hello! Lucky and Snow & Graham) as my top three favorites. They are the ones whose designs I return to again and again.
There are many other fabulous calendars out there:
Night Owl Paper Goods – I bought their Critter Calendar last week and it arrived this past weekend. I absolutely could not resist. I’m not including a picture, just because the picture on their website is really too small for you to be able to appreciate how amazingly cute it is, but take a look at all of their paper goods and you’ll know what I’m talking about.
Pistachio Press – Always beautiful. You can’t go wrong with Pistachio Press.
Paper Source – Paper Source has several different calendars to choose from, but this wall calendar is my favorite – it’s got big, bold, beautiful colors.
Erin Condren – I wrote about Erin Condren last year. I’ve been buying her jumbo wall calendar for three years now. It’s indispensable to my family.
Modern Printed Matter – I’ve never bought anything from this Etsy shop (not yet!) but I’ve had it in my favorites since I started shopping on Etsy. She has really pretty things, including a very pretty desk calendar. Take a look.
A Little Hut – I love Patricia Zapata’s calendar and her paper designs. She does some pretty amazing things. You can find her Etsy shop here. She also has a new book out, “home, paper, scissors.”
Sweetbeets – You know I love Lisa’s designs. She has a printable calendar that I think you’ll love too.
Ana Aceves – Last but definitely not least, I wrote about Ana Aceves a couple of months ago, because I was the lucky winner of her desk calendar giveaway. I truly adore her work, and she has a new blog and a new online shop where you can take a look for yourself.
Good luck picking just one, now that I’ve completely overloaded you with too many great choices!
