Wow, that’s really gorgeous, and it’s so nice that they donate some of the profits to charity.
I bought last year’s calendar & love changing the months. The designs are so beautiful, I can’t wait to see what the next will be.
I took mine out of the CD case & put it up on the wall with a binder clip. I don’t like taking up desk space.
Beautiful. And how ingenious to use the CD case as a holder!
Love it. I just adore calendar season. I can never pick one!
I bought one of these from ilee at the December ’06 I Heart Rummage sale in Seattle. So gorgeous. Thanks for blogging her incredible work!
ARRGUH! They sold out. I did this dance for nearly a month last year. they make a batch and get sold out. make a batch, get sold out. It took me four tries, and I was able to give it to my friend as a gift.
It is so worth it.
I also bought a calendar from ilee last year for my Mother-in-law and then when I received the calendar and took a good look at it, I sent a link to my husband and told him it would make a great Christmas gift from him to me :) :)
I love the designs, just love them. Thanks for spotlighting this small business.
Amber – there is another post on ilee’s site and it says that she has 82 of the calendars in stock.
Her work is so gorgeous. I usually buy twenties or more. It make perfect Christmas gift.
I LOVE this calendar! The designs are amazing! Definitely stocking up on this one.
This design is breathtaking. It reminds me a lot of the Snow & Graham desk calendar available at RedStamp.com. This year, Snow & Graham even have a mini desk calendar. It’s too adorable!
Ilee has started the desk calendars since 2003. Other companies follows her lead.
Fantastic colors!
And…the 2011 calendars are just as wonderful…It even features a glow in the dark moon creepliy treating you for October! And my personal favorite, a gentlemanly bowtied bunny kicking the calendar off in January…representing not only the cutest fauna in the world, but also the chinese year of the rabbit, which is 2011. I don’t want to spoil the rest of the surprises…but $22 is a small price to pay for superior design, quality and sincere charity profit sharing, whilst supporting the eminent comeback of the modern American Cottage Industry.
