love the calendar in the frame. Great idea…I amy do that in my office.
meant may do that in my office! not amy do that :)
Ah! That calendar is too cute!
i’m interested in the greenpoint conference, thanks for mentioning!
framing beautiful printed pieces is a great way to add unique art to your life. notecards, stationery and scrapbook papers area also great items to frame. thanks for sharing this beautiful calendar.
OK now don’t get me wrong I love the looks of the letterpress calendars, but this is something that has always confused me: are they only for looking at? because you definitely can’t use them for keeping track of anything. they are beautiful, but seem kind of useless…
..I wish they would make letterpress calendars that actually had space for writing…
Congratulations on the lovely article in Domino. So well deserved.

I agree with what others have said–would like to see some calendars with space for writing down appointments.
oooooh Grace, what is the little bird on top of the books?
the “click here for more information and to attend” takes me (on both my lappy and my iphone) to a google settings page that asks for my password.
I wanted to let you know quickly. I might check it out tonight.
Wish ypu a wonderful weekend!
i love this style of calendar. meant to be treasured…..
Love those calendars! Especially framed. You could collect these and they’d make a great focal point on a wall. Very nice indeed.
Once again, an awesome print from sycamore street press! I love it!
